When I add the following line to my inline program it complains with`Program run without the Pulumi engine available` :

const opts = { ...options.Azure('azure'), region: stack.region, resourceGroupName }

options.Azure is located in a separate TS package and does the following:

export function Azure(
    name: string,
    opts?: CustomResourceOptions,
    providerOptions?: ProviderOptions,
): AzureOptions {
    const subscriptionId = cfg.require('subscriptionId')
    const provider = new azure.Provider(
        name,
        {
            tenantId,
            subscriptionId,
            clientId: cfg.require('clientId'),
            clientSecret: cfg.requireSecret('clientSecret'),
        },
        providerOptions,
    )
    return {
        subscriptionId,
        provider,
        ...opts,
    }
}

I suspect it has something to do with it being in a separate package… any ideas?

Where does

cfg

come from? If you call any Pulumi static method (e.g. getStack()) without having started the engine, you will see this error. Maybe you can change the order of imports? Or change

cfg

from being created inside the imported module to being passed into it from the main program?

yes, this was correct

Even if you're doing for good reasons, it will help future you if you define an API for the non-default-provider-overrider function, and pass values into it. Allowing the function to call config.get is too much coupling and it is likely to cause problems in the future.

I don’t disagree but I also dont want to have to type it out everytime ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
