Github action error: Pulumi SDK has not been installed

nidiekma commented 3 months ago

What happened?

I try to run pulumi preview in my github action like this:

jobs:
  build-and-deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Check out the repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Set up Node.js
        uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: "20"

      - name: Deploy to AWS with pulumi
        uses: pulumi/actions@v5
        with:
          command: preview
          stack-name: freelance-app/freelance-dev
          work-dir: ./pulumi
        env:
          PULUMI_ACCESS_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PULUMI_ACCESS_TOKEN }}

And get the error:

Pulumi version 3.129.0 is already installed on this machine. Skipping download

I think you need to install your nodejs dependencies before the pulumi/actions step, for example

- name: Installing dependencies
  run: npm ci # or yarn install, pnpm install, ... depending on your package manager
  working-directory: ./pulumi # depending on where your pulumi project lives

Could you check if that resolves the issue?

Somewhat related, a while ago we added the pulumi install command. We can't use that in a step before the pulumi/actions step because the Pulumi CLI is not installed yet at that point, but maybe the pulumi/actions step itself should have an option to run that for you 🤔

I'm using a monorepo with npm workspaces and thought i correctly configured it but just to be double sure i made another npm install step inside the pulumi folder (i already had one in the root folder, just missed the code out for it in this issue, my bad). So my actions file looks like this:

steps:
      - name: Check out the repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Set up Node.js
        uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: "20"

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: npm install

      - name: Install dependencies in pulumi folder
        run: |
          cd pulumi
          npm install

      - name: Deploy to AWS with pulumi
        uses: pulumi/actions@v5
        with:
          command: preview
          stack-name: freelance-app/freelance-dev
          work-dir: ./pulumi
        env:
          PULUMI_ACCESS_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PULUMI_ACCESS_TOKEN }}

So now i get the error:

But that seems to be another issue and with the authentication and not the strange "Pulumi SDK not isntalled" error i got first and dont understand. So that one seems to come from a wrong package.json configuration on my side. Thanks for the hint, otherwise i would still believe that it is just a bug inside the pulumi action and not a misconfiguration from my package.json.

I will close this issues, thanks!
