Bug/question ResourceNotFoundException: No progress information found

[whwa]

What happened?

We have a pulumi stack that we've been successfully using for over a year. In one of our usual deploys we encountered this error:

aws:elasticsearch:Domain (<domain-name>):
    error: 1 error occurred:
    	* updating urn:pulumi:prod::api::aws:elasticsearch/domain:Domain::<domain-name>: 1 error occurred:
    	* ResourceNotFoundException: No progress information found

We also see this in our state file initErrors:

"initErrors": [
  "updating urn:pulumi:prod::api::aws:elasticsearch/domain:Domain::<domain-name>: 1 error occurred:\n\t* ResourceNotFoundException: No progress information found\n\n"
],

We confirmed that the resource does exist (we can see it in our aws console and in the state file) and we are correctly setting the region. Other resources are able to update with no problem.

Steps to reproduce

Unsure how to reproduce - part of the ask of this question/report is to understand how something like this could happen.

Expected Behavior

We expected the resource to update successfully.

Actual Behavior

Got a ResourceNotFound exception and we are unable to update our stacks.

Output of pulumi about

No response

Additional context

This question was posted recently on stack overflow and describes something very similar to what we are seeing.

We are hoping to understand what would cause this error to happen and steps on how to resolve.

We were able to temporarily get around the issue by using ignoreChanges to skip the update that fails. However, still looking for a fix for the root issue.

Hi @whwa

Please can you let us know what version of pulumi-aws that you are using? Does a pulumi refresh help in this space?
