Pulumi Community

If we don't have an issue for this on the repository please create one, either on this or the google-native repository!

If I recall correctly, GCP doesn't provide any API for us to query or poll on to check if the enablement has succeeded.

Thanks friel, <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/12163>

I ended up with
```const firestoreService = new local.Command(`firestore-service`, {
  create: `gcloud services enable <http://firestore.googleapis.com|firestore.googleapis.com>`,
  delete: `gcloud services disable <http://firestore.googleapis.com|firestore.googleapis.com> `,
});```
The rest of firestore seems quite messy.  GCP Classic doesn't create a db so have to use GCP Native. Cant destroy on a Document resource. I prob just need to use the local.Command for the rest of it too since Im already depending on gcloud.

For what it's worth, `gcloud services enable` has the same caveat, it exits with success *but* APIs may still error for a usually brief period of time following.

I recommend adding a sleep command to enabling, in other words.

For your other issues, please file issues on the respective repositories. It's helpful for us &amp; our Google Cloud partners

I continuously polled on the service availability  as I gcloud services enable  and the cmd did not return success until the service was enabled. Confirmed on disabling the service as well and the cli has an --async flag that I think we use when we do not want to block.  I also did not experience the race in my pulumi plan.

Friendly general guidance or do you know for sure that `gcloud services enable` does not block until the service is available?

Friendly guidance, though informed by experience. Before I joined Pulumi last year, I was a Pulumi &amp; GCP user for a few years and I saw races between `gcloud services enable ... &amp;&amp; pulumi up`. If they have a blocking API now and we're not using it, that'd be a good improvement to this resource.

Thanks for filing an issue on pulumi-gcp

<@UTTN8QK0E> I recently build and ran a few Pulumi projects extensively using `DependsOn` and I didn't see a race, do you know which service and resource you encountered that failed?

<@UFPFMDBTK> thanks for looking at this. it was the  firestore service. I did scrap setting this up in pulumi over the race and over the situation with the firestore resources not handling the non-destroy-able constraint.
