[jam-re]

What happened?

The following object causes the following error when using Pulumi up on Windows (tested on 3.113.0 and 3.113.2) while on Linux no such error is displayed :

apiVersion: external-secrets.io/v1beta1
kind: ExternalSecret
metadata:
  name: "{args["name"]}"
  namespace: "{args["ns"]}"
spec:
(...)

Provider is pulumi-kubernetes
CRD in question : https://github.com/external-secrets/external-secrets/blob/main/config/crds/bases/external-secrets.io_secretstores.yaml

Exception: marshaling properties: awaiting input property "resources": failed to determine if the following GVK is namespaced: external-secrets.io/v1beta1, Kind=ExternalSecret

This error represents a failure to lookup the ExternalSecret CRD in the Kubernetes cluster, in using v2.ConfigGroup or v2.ConfigFile. I think you may have hit upon a limitation that we'll resolve soon. I would recommend you use the older ConfigGroup or ConfigFile for now.

I have some questions for @jam-re, thanks!

1. Is this error appearing during preview or during the update?
2. How are you installing the External Secrets Operator? Is it pre-installed or is the same Pulumi program installing it? Which resource are you using, maybe a Helm Chart or Release?
