You are looking for some variation of workspace.projectSettings or workspace.getProjectSettings depending on your language

but I don’t have access to parent workspace

Yes you do. The static selectStack function is an API that handles setting up the workspace for you. So there are other APIs that you can use to construct your LocalWorkspace before you instantiate your stack, or you can access the Workspace property in your stack

The stack that I’m trying to access is already being initiated. I wan’t to

select

the stack using some

args

it’s true that I can add this info (project name) inside the args but that make it de-coupled from the name inside the

pulumi.yaml

file. I don’t want to write the name of the project twice. just want to read it from the yaml file. if I could read the value from the

pulumi.yaml

before creating the

args

object i would be good also. again, I’m using automation api.

You can do that. Just look at the APIs to construct a LocalWorkspace that return the workspace instead of pre-selecting the stack. Make sure you are giving it only the directory with the existing pulumi.yaml
