DNSimple Static Config Ignored in dotnet

[drusellers]

What happened?

I was starting my Pulumi adventure and wanted to see if I could automate some DNS stuff in DNSimple. Because I'm just starting I didn't really want to muck around with ENV VAR so I thought I could use some kind of static configuration. I found Pulumi.DNSimple.Config and thought I could set those values. Alas, they weren't respected and had to revert to ENV VAR.

Example

using Pulumi;
using Pulumi.DNSimple;

return await Deployment.RunAsync(() =>
{
    Pulumi.DNSimple.Config.Account = "000000";
    Pulumi.DNSimple.Config.Token = "dnsimple_u_....";

    var record = new ZoneRecord("test-record", new ZoneRecordArgs()
    {
        Name = "pulumi",
        Type = "TXT",
        Value = "Hello",
        ZoneName = "twosix.io",
    });
});

Additional context

I think that is everything.

I think its odd that the static configuration isn't being respected. The classes are using Pulumi.Config under the covers.

hi @drusellers - I just happened across this issue.

We're sorry you were having trouble here. We've since updated the landing page for dnsimple, which should show you an example of how to set up configuration via Pulumi.yaml configuration file.
Read more about configuration here: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/iac/concepts/config/
