`<Resource>.get(...)` requires resource id and name to be specified redundantly about pulumi-gcp HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks @geekflyer for the detailed write up. This is indeed unfortunate. It looks like this is related to the underlying behavior of the Google Terraform provider. Though we’ll need to figure out a way to make the .get experience simpler here.

I believe @jen20 is actively looking into this, so reassigning.

This is covered in the work I am doing to resolve #55. I have a prototype working which allows the following Pulumi program to import a node pool:

import * as gcp from "@pulumi/gcp";

const defaultPool = gcp.container.NodePool.get("default-pool", "us-central1-a/test-ci/default-pool", {
    project: "pulumi-development",
});

// Export the DNS name of the bucket
export const nodePoolVersion = defaultPool.version;

I think it is possible to remove the dependency on project being specified such that resources in the project associated with the default provider instance can be imported solely by ID without redundancy, which I think will resolve this issue.

There is still some work to do to move all the changes from my scratch copy into the correct places in the Pulumi repo structure - most of the changes are in pulumi/pulumi-terraform rather than GCP provider directly. I'm hoping to land this either later tonight or tomorrow evening.

OK, I had misread and mis-recalled the Terraform provider requirement for the gcp:project configuration item to be the project id and not the project name. With the following configuration:

$ pulumi config
KEY                                              VALUE
gcp:project                                      pulumi-development

The following program:

import * as gcp from "@pulumi/gcp";

const defaultPool = gcp.container.NodePool.get("default-pool", "us-central1-a/test-ci/default-pool");

export const nodePoolVersion = defaultPool.version;

Executes as one would hope:

$ pulumi up

I'll land a series of pull requests to make this work over the next day or so.
