redelivering webhook event: %w

Error message

redelivering webhook event: %w

What it means

Wraps a failure from RedeliverStackWebhookEvent when `pulumi stack webhook delivery redeliver` asks the backend to re-send a specific webhook delivery event. The %w wrap preserves the underlying API error (unknown event ID, webhook gone, auth/network failure) while attributing it to the redelivery operation.

Solutions

1. Get a fresh event ID from `pulumi stack webhook delivery ls`
2. Confirm the webhook still exists and the correct stack is targeted
3. Re-authenticate if the wrapped error indicates expired credentials
4. Retry on transient network/backend errors

Example fix

// before
pulumi stack webhook delivery redeliver deploy-hook 0123  # stale ID
// after
pulumi stack webhook delivery ls deploy-hook   # get current event ID
pulumi stack webhook delivery redeliver deploy-hook <current-event-id>

pulumi stack webhook delivery ls "$WEBHOOK" --stack "$STACK" | grep -Fq "$EVENT_ID" || { echo "event $EVENT_ID not listed" >&2; exit 1; }

err := run("pulumi", "stack", "webhook", "delivery", "redeliver", webhook, eventID)
if err != nil && strings.Contains(err.Error(), "redelivering webhook event:") {
    // refresh event ID from delivery ls, or retry on transient causes
}

When it happens

Trigger: Running `pulumi stack webhook delivery redeliver <webhook> <event-id>` where the backend rejects it: event ID not found (already purged or typo), webhook deleted, or a transient API/auth failure.

Common situations: Replaying an event ID copied from old delivery listings after retention window expiry; redelivering against the wrong stack or org; CI token expired.
