Okay, this is weird to me. I'm setting a config setting:

pulumi config set azure:subscriptionId 12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc

And using it in code:

_currentId = config.require("azure:subscriptionId");

Which fails

error: Missing required configuration variable 'app:azure:subscriptionId'
        please set a value using the command `pulumi config set app:azure:subscriptionId <value>`

Where did the

app:

come from? The command it suggests fails as well:

~#@❯ pulumi config set app:azure:subscriptionId 12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc
error: invalid configuration key: could not parse app:azure:subscriptionId as a configuration key (configuration keys should be of the form `<namespace>:<name>`)

What am I missing?

@damp-cartoon-25024 am I right

app

is your project name? This is for config the default namespace. If you want to retrieve

subscriptionId

from the

azure

namespace, you have to create a separate config object for the

azure

namespace first, then retrieve the right key:

const azureConfig = new pulumi.Config("azure");
const subscription = azureConfig.require("subscriptionId");

Ah! That makes sense! Now I get where I went wrong. Thanks!
