Quick question, I’m trying to re-create access to one of my pulumi infra. What I did is I downloaded

state.json

file from S3 bucket and now I’m trying to do something like this:

➜  sandbox git:(main) ✗ pulumi stack import --file state.json
error: this command requires a stack, but there are none
➜  sandbox git:(main) ✗ pulumi stack import --stack eba --file state.json
error: no stack named 'eba' found

Am I missing something? I don’t see any other options for

import

argument. And I see

eba

name in the state.json file:

➜  sandbox git:(main) ✗
{
    "version": 3,
    "checkpoint": {
        "stack": "eba", (...)

stack init

to create a new stack first.

Thanks. I still have some issue with the state file:

➜  sandbox git:(main) ✗ pulumi stack import --stack eba --file eba.json
error: could not deserialize deployment: unexpected end of JSON input

How did you check its valid?

I have a tool in Go for checking json.

hmm odd that import didn't like it, I thought the format written by filestate would match what import expected

According to the documentation it should work 😕 So no idea why I run into this. At least the same file works fine when I move it to the new stack directory 🙂
