Hi, I must be missing something super basic. I’ve forked the templates repo, added two folders for https://github.com/dewan-ahmed/pulumi-templates/tree/master/aiven-python and https://github.com/dewan-ahmed/pulumi-templates/tree/master/aiven-typescript but when I go for

pulumi up

, I see:

error: could not create stack: provided project name "--PROJECT-" doesn't match Pulumi.yaml

I see the same error when I try to

pulumi up

on an existing package as well. I already configured the credential

export AIVEN_TOKEN=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

which seemed like the only config I needed. What is it that I’m missing with the project name 🤔 ?

Project name comes from

Pulumi.yaml

.

I was trying to follow other examples and it seems all of them had

name: ${PROJECT}

I created a new folder for the new template, added the files, and then tried

pulumi up

in that directory (only config I did was

export AIVEN_TOKEN=XXXXXXXX

)

Are you running

pulumi up

directly in the template dir?

yeah, directly in the newly created template directory.

I've never written a template so IDK for sure, but what you're doing may not be possible. You might have to push it to git and then

pulumi new <https://github.com>......

in order to test.

ah I see. so

pulumi new <https://github.com/dewan-ahmed/pulumi-templates/tree/master/aiven-typescript>

?

Yeah, something like that

thanks Josh, much appreciated. So some success here:

pulumi new <https://github.com/dewan-ahmed/pulumi-templates/tree/master/aiven-typescript>

actually asked me about a project name (so no longer complained about the missing $PROJECT), and other details, and then apparently created the resource after I did

pulumi up

. Strangely enough, I don’t see the resource being created on the Aiven console 🤔

Try

pulumi new /path/to/template

. It does not appear to be documented, but people who know said it works.

sweet! I was actually doing ⬇️ without realizing that this is the confirmation step 😄

Do you want to perform this update? no

resources are created successfully. I’ll send in a few PRs next week 🙌🏽 thanks a bunch

Thank you for your contribution!

pulumi up -y

will auto-confirm. (Obviously not recommended for production infra.)

https://github.com/pulumi/templates/pull/479 https://github.com/pulumi/templates/pull/480 Thanks for your help Josh.

Wonderful! This should get the attention of our team via our normal triage process, but if these are not merged promptly, please don't hesitate to follow up with me and I'll ping the right people.

Will do 🙏🏽 thanks
