pulumi thinks i am in non-interactive mode all the time

[dustinfarris]

Getting this in my local terminal (iTerm, Fish shell):

> pulumi up
error: --yes must be passed in to proceed when running in non-interactive mode

[jaxxstorm]

Can you output the value of env, redacting any potentially secret information? Thanks!

[dustinfarris]

It looks like this started happening when I upgraded from fish 3.1.0 to 3.1.1.

This might be related fish-shell/fish-shell#6955 — I'll be tracking that issue. Hopefully it is resolved soon and I'll test against pulumi to see if this is also resolved.

[clstokes]

@dustinfarris I saw your comment on that issue - just to confirm, did downgrading back to fish-shell 3.1.0 resolve this?

[dustinfarris]

Yes, this was a regression in fish 3.1.1. Fish 3.1.2 was released today and should fix it—I'll test that out tomorrow. Sorry for the false alarm—pulumi cli happened to be the first program where I experienced the error cause I'm living in pulumi lately! ;-)

I am running into this on mac with bash as shell

[leezen]

Could you dump your env vars as Dustin did? That would be helpful in determining if there's anything that might be causing that.

Thanks. JENKINS_URL is one of the env vars that Pulumi CLI uses to detect CI environments. Could you please try unsetting that?

Cool that did it. Can we add this to a troubleshooting guide?

[boillodmanuel]

In looked in source code to find the cause:

• Interactive mode detection: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/blob/v2.10.1/sdk/go/common/util/cmdutil/console.go#L48
  • If CI is detected, terminal is defined as non-interactive
• CI detection: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/blob/v2.10.1/sdk/go/common/util/ciutil/detect.go#L138
  • Disable CI detection with PULUMI_DISABLE_CI_DETECTION=true

So using PULUMI_DISABLE_CI_DETECTION=true pulumi up can help to diagnostic if an env variable related to CI cause pulumi to run in non-interactive mode

[lhale]

...And what does one do when PULUMI_DISABLE_CI_DETECTION=true pulumi up with very few environment variables does not work (and the same error appears)?

pulumi version

v3.1.0

I'm assuming Pulumi CI might have something to do with Continuous Integration, so something related to GitHub actions (which I haven't configured) or equivalent?

-- LATER -- I found a remedy (on Windows 10)
It has nothing to do with CI and everything to do with the terminal window you are running. A regular ol' shell window (like bash) won't work - you must do a winpty bash (or equivalent)
