Question

Does anyone know what Pulumi does to get the json schema for terraform providers that it uses for code gen purposes

stocky-restaurant-98004 · Answer

You re referring to bridged Pulumi providers which take Terraform providers as an internal dependency The code that generates the Pulumi schema from the Terraform schema is in the `tfgen` package of `pulumi terraform bridge` <https github com pulumi pulumi terraform bridge tree master pkg tfgen>

In any bridged provider there s a `make tfgen` target that generates `schema json` <https github com pulumi pulumi artifactory blob main Makefile L22 L25>

`tfgen` iterates the TF schema and docs and uses them to generate the equivalent Pulumi schema
