`error: internal error: Error: Missing newline after argument` on import of RouteTableAssociation with parent

[Makeshift]

What happened?

When attempting to import a aws:ec2/subnet:Subnet with a child aws:ec2/routeTableAssociation:RouteTableAssociation, Pulumi errors with:

error: internal error: Error: Missing newline after argument

  on anonymous.pp line 21:
  22: parent = 1c-tgw-connectivity

An argument definition must end with a newline.

This doesn't appear to actually fail the import - the resources still go into state, but Pulumi doesn't get far enough to generate the code describing the resources.

Example

• Create an empty Pulumi project
• pulumi stack init prod
• Given the following import.json:

{
  "resources": [
    {
      "id": "subnet-006e382738c58236d",
      "type": "aws:ec2/subnet:Subnet",
      "name": "1c-tgw-connectivity"
    },
    {
      "id": "subnet-006e382738c58236d/rtb-015e74b5ae5e1704b",
      "type": "aws:ec2/routeTableAssociation:RouteTableAssociation",
      "name": "1c-tgw-rtb-assoc",
      "parent": "1c-tgw-connectivity"
    }
  ]
}

• pulumi import --file ./import.json -y

I'm sorry this does not work as expected! Would it be possible to add a quick Pulumi program that provisions a "aws:ec2/subnet:Subnet" with a child "aws:ec2/routeTableAssociation:RouteTableAssociation" that would then be used to import from another program? This could help accelerate diagnosing and fixing the issue. Thank you!

Also an output of pulumi about is appreciated as it states all the versions used in the stack.

Hm, I tried to create a reproduction repo but I don't seem to be able to replicate it outside of my environment. I'll give it another shot tomorrow - getting pretty late here!

I did attach the output of pulumi about, though it seemed that it failed to find some of the information (see the errors at the bottom), possibly because the program I initially found this issue with is within a yarn workspace?
