02/17/2023, 8:58 PM@mysterious-teacher-68276 is there a channel you could pull me into for talking about the api or would you prefer a private message?

02/17/2023, 9:00 PMwe don’t have a dedicated channel for that atm, are you having problems with it?
d
dazzling-journalist-91580
02/17/2023, 9:00 PMit's relating to github issue 2091 and you saying you're welcoming contributions... I've done the changes to my local, but it's still for some reason pulling/sourcing from your api's output csv which obviously does not have the necessary machine types
m
mysterious-teacher-68276
02/17/2023, 9:01 PMah right, gotcha, just your GitHub handle is different, so didn’t piece it together
do you have a instance of the cloud pricing api running locally?

the problem is, even if I run

02/17/2023, 9:04 PMlet me have a look at the src, I haven’t looked at it in a bit

dazzling-journalist-91580
02/17/2023, 9:05 PMeither way, I would highly recommend that you stop hard-coding machine types... especially since there are super convenient rest endpoints that let you query what machine types are available worldwide

02/17/2023, 9:05 PMyeah I’m not sure why we do that tbh, I’m sure there was a reason at some point

02/17/2023, 9:06 PMI think I need to run something like
data:scrape:dev😅 except
ts-nodem
mysterious-teacher-68276
02/17/2023, 9:07 PMyeah just run it on your machine

dazzling-journalist-91580
02/17/2023, 9:09 PMit really shows that you're mostly focused on aws
m
mysterious-teacher-68276
02/17/2023, 9:09 PMyeah most of our customers are AWS or Azure
d
dazzling-journalist-91580
02/17/2023, 9:10 PMthat's probably because your google side isn't very well supported
m
mysterious-teacher-68276
02/17/2023, 9:11 PMyeah it’s mostly because of cloud provider market share tbh
you managed to get the
data:scrapce:devd
dazzling-journalist-91580
02/17/2023, 9:12 PMyeah, it's running now, though I'm not sure if it's going to do the right thing or not, it's just downloading a bunch of aws jsons right now

02/17/2023, 9:18 PMFYI I’m gonna log off in 5, (it’s late here in the UK), but I’ll leave you in the capable hands of @crooked-daybreak-55253 / @white-airport-8778 who are in US timezones

@crooked-daybreak-55253 @white-airport-8778 could either of you advise on how it is exactly that you're determining what the active region is? I believe the fallback to us-central1 is happening in

Thanks @dazzling-journalist-91580! you’re right that the fallback is happening in the CLI, also thanks for including that api that returns the instance types, I can’t remember why we didn’t use that API, it might have been because when we wrote that code originally ~2yrs ago we didn’t want to force users to enter GCP creds to just run that service (but things have changed a lot and users can download the pricing DB dump from us so we should switch to using that api at some point to avoid this confusion again) 🙂

dazzling-journalist-91580
02/17/2023, 10:01 PMwell, you're stuck using credentials anyway, one other point in that regard, google has a LOT of helpers available, so requiring the use of
GCP_KEY_FILEthe funny thing? I'm a systems architect that works primarily with python, but I've had to 🔨 my devs about using application defaults myself in the past

02/17/2023, 10:03 PM
😄 defaults and overrides, users have 🔨 us about those

02/17/2023, 10:05 PMeither way, I'm now unblocked. I'm not familiar enough with golang to fix what I presume to be a parse error in the region selector, but I can at least get a ballpark estimate
on a personal note, it's really sketchy that the repository url is being picked up (and presumably submitted) even in the open source version and some of the errors are potentially misleading.... specifically
Copy code

I’ll take a look at that line as I’m pretty sure that’s misleading, when you self-host there is no Infracloud Cloud

dazzling-journalist-91580
02/17/2023, 10:08 PMI wasn't self-hosted at the beginning of the day: https://github.com/infracost/infracost/issues/2091
I only went self-hosted so I could fix the missing machineTypes

right yeah I saw your GH comment, sorry it’s been a long week of debugging user issues

dazzling-journalist-91580
02/17/2023, 10:10 PMyeah, it happens, I had a dev try to send a 1.1GB json response today... so, I feel you
the user was like "why does it take 30 minutes to load this project?"
@mysterious-teacher-68276 I changed the comment to a TODO with a reference to the function name used later. I'm not a js/typescript developer, so that level of refactor is beyond me

mysterious-teacher-68276
02/20/2023, 2:13 PMsounds good, I’m just running the build then I’ll merge and release to the hosted API

dazzling-journalist-91580
02/20/2023, 2:13 PMawesome, thanks
thanks for the merge ❤️

02/20/2023, 2:41 PMok that’s deployed, we should pick up the new machine types when we run a scrape tonight ~4am UTC. I’ll test tomorrow.
