Issue details
After responding to pulumi/pulumi-aws#3632, I thought that my response could (and should) be automated. YAML is all about nesting, and it's pretty common to accidentally mis-nest something. Our documentation doesn't always help there.
Consider this example:
lambda_hello_world:
type: aws:lambda:Function
properties:
code:
s3Bucket: ${s3_bucket_lambda_code.bucket}
s3Key: helloworld.zip
code: Cannot assign '{s3Bucket: string, s3Key: string}' to 'archive'
Both s3Bucket
and s3Key
are valid fields in properties
. We could provide a much more helpful error message here:
code: Cannot assign '{s3Bucket: string, s3Key: string}' to 'archive'
Consider moving 's3Bucket: ${s3_bucket_lambda_code.bucket}' up one level to 'properties'
Consider moving 's3Key: helloworld.zip' up one level to 'properties'
Affected area/feature
