Hello! I’ve made a component resource, in Go, and I’m trying to use this from another part of our code tree. I get an error saying:

error: no resource plugin 'pulumi-resource-foo' found in the workspace or on your $PATH, install the plugin using `pulumi plugin install resource foo`

Is it necessary to write a fully fledged plugin in order to create a component resource, or am I just doing it wrong?

it looks like you are building a

Resource

not a

ComponentResource

IMO ComponentResource only reuses existing providers. It should not need any installation. (unless it's a separate package) https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/resources/components/

Right you are! I’d managed to use

pulumi.CustomResourceState

rather than

pulumi.ResourceState

in my resource struct Thanks!
