I am a newbie in pulumi. I am having an issue. When I do pulumi login in GCP backend It appears an error:

stderr: error: getting secrets manager: passphrase must be set with PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE or PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE_FILE environment variables

When I do pulumi logout the deployment works - pulumi api automation. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Tried to set pulumi_config_passphrase.

When using the self-managed backends for Pulumi, you need to provide a pass phrase to encrypt secret values.

This can be done by setting a global environment variable which will depend on the operating system you're using. In Unix like environments (eg MacOs or Linux) you can do:

export PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE=<a password you can remember>

In Windows on Powershell this can be done using:

$env:PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE=<a password you can remember>

If you don't wish to use a passphrase, you can leverage the Pulumi service as your state store, or configure a cloud secrets provider.

This is done when initializing your stack, more information on that can be found here
