Question

I have starting testing the new Command package in preview and I was wondering how I could debug it My script seems not to work inside the Command resource and I have no way to debug it as I can t get any error message Does anyone know how to get error messages from the Command package

It s pretty painful The only way I ve found out is to basically make it succeed i e eat up any exceptions it may throw print them out and exit successfully and then print out the stdout stderr you got back

Would you be able to hook your remote code into whichever channel you re using for `pulumi log`

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

CloudWatch or whatever

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

But either way the onus is on you The code runs remotely so the logs are generated remotely

I don t think any output from stdout stderr of the executed Command is currently outputted by Pulumi and definitely not on failure

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

No the output would be from the command itself You d have to capture it and send it to whatever Pulumi uses for reading logs in your preferred cloud provider

It would be a useful ComponentResource or even feature request to add a CloudWatch or whatever log group automatically and add all output error output to it Unfortunately pulumi cloud doesn t support logging yet that would be an easy way to create a cross platform solution for this

This seems like a pretty extreme way to see the stdout and stderr of a locally run command in the case of local Command

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Yes it wouldn t be appropriate there I haven t used it to run local commands before the use case didn t occur to me

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

The example on the API doc page suggests you can just export the command s stdout and stderr properties does this fail when the command fails Probably worth reporting an issue It should work and `<http pulumi log info|pulumi log info> command stderr ` should work too

bored-table-20691 · Answer

Yes it does There s already an issue for this

bored-table-20691 · Answer

When the command fails then the entire resource fails and you don t get a resource just the err object which contains no info
