hello i am trying to use pulumi up in github actions it works as expected . is there a way i can use the resource name from onestep to another ? i am already exporting the name of my bucket in my pulumi script

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";
import * as awsx from "@pulumi/awsx";

// Create an AWS resource (S3 Bucket)
const bucket = new aws.s3.Bucket("accessRequests3Bucket");

// Export the name of the bucket
export const bucketName = bucket.id;

i am able to see that in my github actions also

pulumi up on dev
  Updating (dev):
  
  
  
      pulumi:pulumi:Stack s3-dev running 
  
      aws:s3:Bucket accessRequestBucket  
  
      pulumi:pulumi:Stack s3-dev  
   
  
  Outputs:
      bucketName: "accessrequestbucket-6500d31"
  
  Resources:
      2 unchanged
  
  Duration: 3s

apologies if this question is not related to pulumi Thanks

What will be using the name in the next step? If it's another Pulumi program, you would use a stack reference. If it's anything else, you would invoke

pulumi stack output

and grab the value from there.

it another github action step eg:

- name: upload package to bucket
        run: aws s3 cp accessRequest.zip <s3-bucket-name>

i will try adding pulumi stack output thanks

The Pulumi action doesn't support the

stack

command. If you need it in another step, then you need to run the

pulumi

command directly, and parse its output.

out put will be consumed by another github action step

- uses: pulumi/actions@v3
        with:
          command: up
          stack-name: dev
          #comment-on-pr: true
          upsert: true
          refresh: true
          work-dir: awsResource/s3
        env:
          PULUMI_ACCESS_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PULUMI_ACCESS_TOKEN }}
          PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE: ${{ secrets.PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE }}

      - name: upload foo package to bucket
        run: aws s3 cp foo.zip <bucket name from output of pulumi up >

Ah. If that can't be done in the Pulumi program (maybe by using a file asset) then you will want to use

pulumi stack output | grep bucketName

or similar. Unless the Pulumi action can store outputs in a workflow variable or similar... I don't think I've read anything about that.

This worked for me

-  name: get s3 bucket name to push package
         id: pulumiStackOutput
         working-directory: awsResource/s3
         env:
          PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE: ${{ secrets.PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE }}
         run: echo ::set-output name=bucketname::$(pulumi login ${{ secrets.AWS_BUCKET }}  > /dev/null 2>&1  && pulumi stack output -j | jq -r .bucketName)
      -  name: print bucket name 
         run: echo ${{ steps.pulumiStackOutput.outputs.bucketname }}

Yep, it's a bit hairy, but maybe a request for an option to the "up" Pulumi action that puts outputs (or at least, some named outputs) into a workflow variable would be good...
