Question

I m trying to follow the Azure getting started guide at <https www pulumi com docs get started azure > The command pulumi login local seems to be working I see the pulumi folder with the templates etc When I execute the command pulumi new azure csharp it displays the basic information and instructions about entering values and prompts me for the project name When I hit Enter nothing happens It also doesn t accept any input for the project name i e if I try to type in a project name it doesn t seem to accept any input it certainly doesn t echo the characters to the screen So I m guessing there s some kind of issue in the terminal shell console where I m executing the pulumi new command A Ctrl C does break out of the command back to the prompt I m on Windows 10 21H2 10944 1469 Windows Terminal 1 11 3471 0 Windows Powershell 7 2 1 Any thoughts on this Anyone else run into it

Note I do not have this problem when I run pulumi new azure csharp in a default Powershell console

Is the only difference that you re using Windows Terminal

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

I use Windows Terminal sometimes and it works fine Also VSCode terminal I associate this sort of behaviour with running an app within Docker and without the ` i` flag the stdin wiring would be wrong

little-library-54601 · Answer

Yes that s the only difference Open Windows Terminal select a Windows Powershell tab the core version of Powershell via the dropdown error Windows key type powersh select Powershell 7 x64 works

little-library-54601 · Answer

No issues using it in the VS Code windows powershell terminal either

Then I d be investigating how your Terminal config is wiring stdin to console apps I haven t heard of anything like this before so I don t think it s part of the default Terminal configs have you tweaked anyrthing

Have you determined that your input is doing nothing Could it be invisible but working

And if you re interested in workarounds can I recommend WSL2 I use Terminal with Ubuntu bash and run Pulumi on the Linux side of the divide Working 100 for me

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Doing it that way makes moving builds to cloud platforms GitLabCI GitHub workflows ADO pipeelines etc easier since they re mostly built on Linux in containers

little-library-54601 · Answer

Yes there s no evidence it s doing anything though I suppose I could guess at what it s prompting for The passphrase prompts would be a challenge wink

little-library-54601 · Answer

I love WSL2 it seems like it s just an extra obstacle to getting my head around Pulumi TBH

The import IDs for resources are at the bottom of the registry doc pages at least for AWS resources

little-library-54601 · Answer

I think I found them they re actually pretty helpful once you realize that each resource type has its own doc page with its own import example
