< delightful napkin 38557> you need to import the sdk into your venv with `pip3 install e sdk python bin` then you can just import it

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

where is this sdk folder in the source of my plugin

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

it should have been generated what did you run in your process have you run `make generate`

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

yeah

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

but what the point of running `plugin install`

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

`pip3 install e sdk python ` works thanks But I just don t get the `pulumi plugin install file ` command It seems useless

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

its not useless the plugin provider is what talks via grpc to the pulumi engine

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

so the SDK is used to author your program the plugin binary is what communicates with the engine you need both

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

ha ok

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

So I need the plugin install only when I run pulumi not when I write the code

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

that s right when you run `pulumi up`

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

if you set the right fields in your `resources go` and publish the tarball to github releases it ll get installed automatically for users

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

So the sdk is the python go modules

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

correct

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

what s the resources go

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

oh sorry i meant your schema json

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

ok

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

```if you set the right fields in your resources go and publish the tarball to github releases it ll get installed automatically for users``` when when the user install the plugin with `pulumi plugin install`

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

yeah sorry `resources go` should be switched for `schema json`

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

ok

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

if you set the `pluginDownloadUrl` the user never has to run `pulumi plugin install` they just do `pip3 install lt name gt ` and it autoacuires the plugin

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

wow the pip install will install the plugin by itself

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

yup

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

nice

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

that s what I was looking for

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

thanks a lot for your help

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

last question what s the good name of that plugins packages component component resource OTHER

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

of what sorry

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

of the plugin

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

we call the plugin binary the plugin binary slightly smiling face

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

because the command line says plugin the boilerplate says component and the doc seems to say package

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

a package is a plugin + a component

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

I mean the repository which contain the source of the plugin

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

what the right name component

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

ok thanks a lot

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

we call this a multi language package a multi language package consists of a component and a plugin binary

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

perfect this is so clear now

delightful-napkin-38557 · Answer

thanks again

acoustic-tiger-77630 · Answer

Nice I got it working but with one caveat which I am not quite sure now When I run pulumi up it returns a warning saying warning `resource plugin zpa is expected to have version gt =0 0 1 alpha 1654199673 but has 0 0 1 alpha 1653983237+fff10f33 dirty the wrong version may be on your path or this may be a bug in the plugin` This is what was generated in the SDK under the path sdk python bin dist Any ideas here what I might be missing

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

< acoustic tiger 77630> looks like you built a binary and put it in your `$PATH` with a git working tree without commits slightly smiling face

acoustic-tiger-77630 · Answer

Hi < billowy army 68599> Thanks for the insight Yes had forgotten to commit slightly smiling face But even after that still get eh same warning message On the other hand when I look at my path in my case I am using $GOPATH I don see the pulumi resource xyz In my case would be pulumi resource zpa What am I missing

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

what does `which pulumi resource zpa` return

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

`pulumi resource zpa` is somewhere on your `$PATH` or in `~ pulumi plugins` somewhere

acoustic-tiger-77630 · Answer

It actually returns not found

acoustic-tiger-77630 · Answer

In plugins I see the resource zpa v0 0 1 but not pulumi resource zpa

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

What does pulumi plugin ls return

acoustic-tiger-77630 · Answer

ok I think I got it I had to first run the make provider which will generate the binary pulumi resource zpa and then I have to move it into my $GOPATH bin but I still receive the same warning about the mismatched version It runs successfully though But it is an annoying warning and I can t figure it out how to fix it for now I ll have to dig a little deeper to find out

acoustic-tiger-77630 · Answer

Thanks for all your help so far < billowy army 68599>
