Which state backend are you using? And which programming language are you using for Pulumi code?

The

-j

flag makes parsing simple fwiw.

Im unsure how to use that call though. Doesn't seem to be available on

LocalWorkspace

anyways. I am using it like this atm:

const stack = await LocalWorkspace.createOrSelectStack(args);

Your example is like a helper function to bypass creating a workspace instance and get a stack instance in one line, but you could either access the workspace with stack.Workspace after doing that or not instantiate a stack and simply instantiate a workspace instead
