Hello, Not sure if this is the correct channel but i could not find relating to `CICD`/`Github Actions`. I am deploying to

AWS

and in one of the workflows i am using the

preview

command.

- name: Preview changes to Infra  🚀
  uses: pulumi/actions@v4
  id: pulumi
  with:
    command: preview
    stack-name: ${{ env.PULUMY_XXXX }}
    work-dir: ${{ env.PULUMY_XXXXX }}
    color: always
  env:
    PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE: ${{ secrets.PULUMI_XXXXXX }}

This works fine but the output looks is very verbose and like this:

Matched version: v3.55.0

Install destination is /home/runner/.pulumi

Successfully deleted pre-existing /home/runner/.pulumi/bin

/usr/bin/tar xz --warning=no-unknown-keyword --overwrite -C /home/runner/.pulumi -f /home/runner/work/_temp/6726a8cc-1cb3-41ec-b817-25afe86c25a2

is there a way to reduce all the noise ? would it be possible to just see the changes that will be made without all the python dependency details ? for example just:

pulumi:pulumi:Stack: (same)

[urn=urn:pulumi:dev::infra::pulumi:pulumi:Stack::infra-dev]

+ aws:s3/bucket:bucket: (create)

[urn=urn:pulumi:dev::infra::aws:s3/bucket:bucket::my-bucket2]

thanks for the time and help

The changes should be added as a comment to your PR (assuming this is kicked off from a PR?)

thanks for the suggestion. This is a

push

to a feature branch. The idea of the

github action

flow been a developer will do a

push

then they

review

the changes that will be made and then they can decide if they want to go ahead with it. Your right, the output is very useful when debugging but i was hopping there would be a debug flag or something like that. At the moment output is pages long of information that feels like noise when you want to just see the changes that will be made. Using the

preview

command on the

terminal

is great and was hopping for something similar when it come to this. Also thanks for the

comment-on-pr: true

I will use that with

pull

request 👍

It didn't, last time I checked. Something must have changed... The GitHub action doesn't do anything magical. You can replace it with a regular script and get more control, which might sit you better.

yip thats what i ended up doing. When with setup-pulumi and got it to working with a script this is what

comment-on-pr: true

looks like in github. Its also been raised as an enhancement in the pulumi/actions repo
