synced-folder plugin not available through CDN

[lionello]

What happened?

Tried to install using pulumi plugin install resource synced-folder v0.10.2 and failed with 403. Other plugins are available (unauth'ed) from that CloudFront URL, but synced-folder is not.

Expected Behavior

Expected to be able to download the plugins through the CDN URL (not just GitHub releases)

Steps to reproduce

• install using pulumi plugin install resource synced-folder v0.10.2:

error: [resource plugin synced-folder-0.10.2] downloading from : failed to download plugin: synced-folder-0.10.2: 403 HTTP error fetching plugin from https://get.pulumi.com/releases/plugins/pulumi-resource-synced-folder-v0.10.2-darwin-arm64.tar.gz

• try curl:

$ curl -L https://get.pulumi.com/releases/plugins/pulumi-resource-synced-folder-v0.10.2-darwin-arm64.tar.gz                                                                                                                                                                       <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Hi there @lionello thank you for taking the time to file the issue 🙏

I have tried the command above: pulumi plugin install resource synced-folder v0.10.2 and it worked as expected. It could be that Github hit a sort of late limit at the time you tried to download the plugin from the releases. Can you give it another try to check whether it was something intermittent? Thank you!

[lionello]

I'm still getting the same error. Funnily enough it only happens with this plugin. Other plugins download fine? If it's just on my system, then I might have something weird here, so feel free to close.

I tried this as well and didn't have any issues, and the usual cause is indeed API rate-limiting on the GitHub end. @lionello does this repro when you have a GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable set with a valid GitHub access token?

[jimjoes]

I'm getting the same error. No change if I add a valid key to the GITHUB_TOKEN local env var, either.

Having the same issue, specifically with this plugin. Github rate limits are exceeded and the fallback to get.pulumi.com fails.

Is there a reason why synced-folder is not available publicly?

The issue is also referenced here: pulumi/actions#815

I have also experienced this issue, in my case it was within a Gitlab CI pipeline. Because of docker-in-docker we were having to install this plugin on each run.

Would really appreciate a CDN, these rate limits probably don't trigger for anyone doing local development - you only install once. But in CI environments, you end up running installs much more frequently and can easily hit the rate limit if you have multiple projects running on the same agent.

Binaries for 0.10.2 and 0.11.1 have been published, and future releases should be published automatically.
