Pulumi is not started from backed jar file

[golosegor]

What happened?

I'm trying to run pulumi from precompiled jar file (following the guide here: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-java/ )

First I'm starting new project and could check that compilation is working and pulumi do the job. Then I'm packaging exactly this project, and building farjar (repro guide is here: https://github.com/golosegor/pulumi-execute-from-jar-issue )

Then I'm trying to run pulumi with complid code from folder nearby: https://github.com/golosegor/pulumi-execute-from-jar-issue/blob/main/repro-folder/Pulumi.yaml and getting GRCP unavailable exception

Example

I've created a repro

Thanks for opening the issue and providing a repro project @golosegor! I haven't had a chance to try the repro yet, but one quick question: Does it work if you place the .jar within repro-folder and update the path in Pulumi.yaml to not have ../?

[golosegor]

Hello @justinvp . I tried different ways. Absolute path is also not working. So it's not a problem with the path 100%

No idea why exactly is this happening, feels like some funny business inside grpc-netty-shaded and shadow jar plugin.

I debugged through the code, and basically when you run pulumi via gradle, it defaults to dns:// protocol, but when you run it via a far jar, it falls back to unix://, which is invalid.

This happens in io.grpc.internal.ManagedChannelImpl#getNameResolver(java.lang.String, io.grpc.NameResolver.Factory, io.grpc.NameResolver.Args) link, where it says it should fall back to dns://, but it doesn't.

This seems to be a fix for that: https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/10425 but dumb upgrade of grpc didn't help much.

Interesting, I've just replaced the shadow plugin with spring-boot plugin, which can also generate a fat jar, and it works now! Perhaps it would be good to have an official example project where a fat jar is created and pulumi is executed from it.
