Can't create resource in GCP

[cvatsops]

What happened?

Hello Team ,

I am trying to create a GCS bucket using pulumi as backend code which is serving via a fast api server .

Here's the request i am using to create the resource:

curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8000/create-bucket" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
    "bucket_name": "fastapi-pulumi-bucket",
    "location": "europe-west3",
    "force_destroy": true
}'

I have even setup the gcp project using pulumi config set gcp:project $projectname.

And below is the error i am facing:

{"detail":"\n code: 255\n stdout: Updating (aws):\n\n@ updating....\n    pulumi:pulumi:Stack aws-aws running warning: unable to detect a global setting for GCP Project.\n@ updating....\n +  gcp:storage:Bucket fastapi-pulumi-bucket creating (0s)\n +  gcp:storage:Bucket fastapi-pulumi-bucket creating (0s) error:   sdk-v2/provider2.go:520: sdk.helper_schema: project: required field is not set: [email protected]\n +  gcp:storage:Bucket fastapi-pulumi-bucket creating (0s) error: 1 error occurred:\n +  gcp:storage:Bucket fastapi-pulumi-bucket **creating failed** error: 1 error occurred:\n    pulumi:pulumi:Stack aws-aws running error: update failed\n@ updating......\n    pulumi:pulumi:Stack aws-aws **failed** 1 error; 1 warning\nDiagnostics:\n  pulumi:pulumi:Stack (aws-aws):\n    warning: unable to detect a global setting for GCP Project.\n    Pulumi will rely on per-resource settings for this operation.\n    Set the GCP Project by using:\n        `pulumi config set gcp:project <project>`\n    error: update failed\n\n  gcp:storage:Bucket (fastapi-pulumi-bucket):\n    error:   sdk-v2/provider2.go:520: sdk.helper_schema: project: required field is not set: [email protected]\n    error: 1 error occurred:\n    \t* project: required field is not set\n\nResources:\n    1 unchanged\n\nDuration: 3s\n\n stderr: "}%

Hi @cvatsops. Thanks for posting your problem here.

The error message suggests you need to set a project for your bucket. Did that not work?
EDIT: I see that you are using Automation API, did you try setting the config on the Automation API stack like the example here: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/iac/packages-and-automation/automation-api/getting-started-automation-api/#configure-your-provider-plugins?

Hi @VenelinMartinov I have already set the gcp project using pulumi config set gcp:project project_name.
Is there any other way to set it?

Can you instead provide the example for GCP.

[VenelinMartinov]

Yeah, it looks like you are using Automation API. Please take a look at https://www.pulumi.com/docs/iac/packages-and-automation/automation-api/getting-started-automation-api/#configure-your-provider-plugins

Also, a great place to find help with questions related to pulumi is the pulumi community slack channel: https://slack.pulumi.com/

You'd need to adapt the instructions for the GCP provider: https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/gcp/installation-configuration/#authenticate-using-the-cli to work with the automation API: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/iac/packages-and-automation/automation-api/getting-started-automation-api/#configure-your-provider-plugins

something like:

stack.set_config("gcp:project", auto.ConfigValue(value="my_project"))

Note that the Automation API is a somewhat advanced feature, you might have an easier time starting off with one of the "Getting Started" guides.
