Hi all, I wrote a bit of code in my c# pulumi program to execute a console app on apply of a variable (To get the variable into another system). However, I noticed that on a preview, this code executes (understandably, as its in the flow). How can I stop this so that the method is only called on an apply?

Also, the Command package handles this correctly. https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/command/

I need some assistence with this. At the moment, I have a method in my pulumi program that uses the command provider, to invoke a program. The name of the command is "random", but it is invoked in a loop. What should the name be? Also, my exe is on the system path (Windows), but i keep getting this error: KillerGaming.Utilities.OctopusDeployVariablesPusher.exe

Do you copy the exe to the target machine? Or do you run it locally, and it operates on the target machine?

ah do you know the exact object? in c#

I would need to see the problematic code to understand what's going on. And I'd need a better explanation of what you want to have happen.

string arguments = string.Join(" ", "S.exe", variableName, value, projectName, env);

//string exePath = @"S.exe";

var command = new Pulumi.Command.Local.Command (Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), new Pulumi.Command.Local.CommandArgs

{

Dir = @"C:\Repos\",

Create = arguments

}) ;

One problem is the name of the command. It is different each time you run it, which means it's destroying the old command and creating a new one. But that's not the path problem.

I've got this working, although not using the command library, but a method that calls the Octopus API (taken out the external console tool). My challenge is understanding the async nature of the apply method. In my callback, a console line is written stating "A" and then towards the end "B". I'd expect output like: A B A B A B Instead, I get: A A A B B

apply is async. It is called when the thing being applied is resolved. This is correct.
