Using custom provider requires plugin 2.6.1 despite using newer version

[yarinm]

I'm creating a custom pulumi-kubernetes provider in version 2.8.0 and whenever I create a stack, pulumi forces a download of pulumi-kubernetes 2.6.1 plugin and uses it:

INFO[0039] [resource plugin kubernetes-2.6.1] installing  
INFO[0039] Downloading plugin: 0 B / 26.90 MiB [----------------------------------]   0.00% 
INFO[0040] Downloading plugin: 40.43 KiB / 26.90 MiB [>---------------------]   0.15% 2m18s 

In the state file for some reason the provider's URN is:

urn:pulumi:xxxx::yyyy::pulumi:providers:kubernetes::default_2_6_1

@yarinm Could you please clarify what you're doing and provide any relevant code as well? Is this for an existing stack and perhaps it is referencing the older plugin version? Or when you say "create a stack" -- this is for a completely new stack? And if so, how is it referencing the kubernetes package?

I have the same problem. I need to use fresh version due to fix of the helm v3 bug with hooks.
But with freshly created project and state, it still says

    error: no resource plugin 'kubernetes-v2.6.1' found in the workspace or on your $PATH, install the plugin using `pulumi plugin install resource kubernetes v2.6.1````

and if I have it, it uses it.

OK, I see, it is due to #1325 which hardcode version to 2.6.1

Question is "what to do?"

I run into the same problem when creating Helm V3 charts in Go. Initially I thought the problem was related to the custom Kubernetes provider I set in the resource options but it also occurs without a custom provider being set (see below).

Steps to reproduce

• Run pulumi new in empty directory, choose gcp-go template
• Replace the contents of main.go and go.mod with code below
• Run pulumi up

main.go

package main

import (
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi-kubernetes/sdk/v2/go/kubernetes/helm/v3"
	"github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v2/go/pulumi"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {

		_, err := buildNginxIngressHelmChart(ctx)
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}

		return nil
	})
}

func buildNginxIngressHelmChart(ctx *pulumi.Context) (*helm.Chart, error) {
	return helm.NewChart(ctx, "nginx-ingress-helm-chart", helm.ChartArgs{
		Chart:   pulumi.String("ingress-nginx"),
		Version: pulumi.String("3.24.0"),
		FetchArgs: helm.FetchArgs{
			Repo: pulumi.String("https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx"),
		},
	})
}

go.mod

module foo

go 1.16

require (
	github.com/pulumi/pulumi-kubernetes/sdk/v2 v2.8.3
	github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v2 v2.23.1
)

pulumi up output
