Hey all I m trying to use the official Pulumi github action

Question

Hey all I m trying to use the official Pulumi github action from <https github com pulumi actions|here> but it seems like the action is built with a known EKS authentication bug because it s using a very old version of kubectl that hasn t been updated for 8 months or so is this on the docket to get squared away I cannot use the Pulumi github action until then neutral face

< damp room 84921> the pulumi github action is a typescript action are you still using the docker based one the version of Kubectl is actually from the github runner and you can change it using this action

damp-room-84921 · Answer

Sorry we re in AWS

damp-room-84921 · Answer

I ve been trying to use <https github com pulumi actions pulumi nodejs runtime pulumi managed backend> as we re using TS for our Pulumi

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

that action isn t an azure thing it ll just install kubectl into your github actions runner

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

just try the following ```name Pulumi on push branches master jobs up name Update runs on ubuntu latest steps uses azure setup kubectl v2 0 uses actions checkout v2 name Setup Node uses actions setup node v1 with node version 14 x run npm install uses pulumi actions v3 with command up stack name dev env PULUMI ACCESS TOKEN $ secrets PULUMI ACCESS TOKEN ```

will do stand by

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

it might be worth taking some time to understand how actions work each step is a unique thing and if you don t invoke a step you get the default version of a tool

Thanks

damp-room-84921 · Answer

Had to edit it a bit ```name Pulumi on pull request jobs up name Preview runs on self hosted linux x64 steps uses azure setup kubectl v2 0 uses actions checkout v2 name Setup Node uses actions setup node v1 with node version 14 x run npm install uses pulumi actions v3 with command preview stack name xxxxx env PULUMI ACCESS TOKEN $ secrets PULUMI ACCESS TOKEN ```

```Error Could not find aws CLI for EKS See <https github com pulumi pulumi eks> for installation instructions ``` I ve been down this rabbit hole slightly smiling face

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

that shouldn t be happening

damp-room-84921 · Answer

This is how I ended up here

damp-room-84921 · Answer

disappointed

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

oh wait

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

no that s not asking for kubectl

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

its asking for the aws cli

damp-room-84921 · Answer

It s looking for `aws eks` afaict

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

yeah which is completely different from kubectl

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

you should be able to do ```run pip3 install aws cli```

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

again this isn t a Pulumi problem its a github actions problem slightly smiling face

damp-room-84921 · Answer

I d argue that if your documentation points to a pulumi developed github action for customers to use and it doesn t work as described that would be a pulumi problem but I won t fight ya over it slightly smiling face

damp-room-84921 · Answer

I think there s other issues with this action as described even before hitting the awscli missing issue npm install fails to install all the deps but does not report failure ```There was an error installing the resource provider plugin It looks like `pulumi` is not installed on your system Please visit```

damp-room-84921 · Answer

```name Pulumi on push branches master jobs up name Update runs on ubuntu latest steps uses azure setup kubectl v2 0 uses actions checkout v2 name Setup Node uses actions setup node v1 with node version 14 x run npm install uses pulumi actions v3 with command up stack name dev env PULUMI ACCESS TOKEN $ secrets PULUMI ACCESS TOKEN ``` The example calls for `npm install` and explodes when looking for pulumi cli which doesn t exist until it reaches the `pulumi actions v3`step I don t understand how this could ever work Maybe I m grossly misunderstanding something here

Hello < damp room 84921> is there any output I could see from the failing `npm install` I m using the Pulumi GH action succesfully with only a small difference though `actions setup node v1` is highly outdated Can you update to `v2` or `v3` I m using it with `v2` and also have the Pulumi GH action after the `npm install`

damp-room-84921 · Answer

Hey < limited rainbow 51650> It s this for every module it attempts to grab ```There was an error installing the resource provider plugin It looks like `pulumi` is not installed on your system Please visit to install the Pulumi CLI You may try manually installing the plugin by running `pulumi plugin install resource docker v3 0 0````

damp-room-84921 · Answer

I can swap to nodev3 and see if it budges

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

< damp room 84921> Ringo is advocating chaning the github action version ``` name Setup Node uses actions setup node v2 with node version 14 x```

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

not the pulumi provider version

damp-room-84921 · Answer

Yeah that s how I interpreted his message slightly smiling face
