After completing the quickstart, verify that your resources are installed and functioning as expected. This guide shows you how to check resource status, understand lifecycle states, and troubleshoot common verification failures.

​
Check Resource Status

List all your installed resources:
After completing the quickstart, you should see output like:
The [READY] status indicates your bucket was provisioned successfully.

​
Understanding Lifecycle States

Resources move through several states during provisioning:
A resource in PENDING state is normal immediately after applying. It should transition to PROCESSING within a few seconds, then to READY once complete.

​
Get Resource Details

View detailed information about a specific resource:
This shows:
  • Current lifecycle state
  • Configuration values
  • Output values (like the bucket URL)
  • Any error messages if the resource failed
For a successful bucket, you’ll see outputs like:

​
Verify in GCP Console

You can also confirm the resource exists in your GCP project:
  1. Open the Google Cloud Console
  2. Navigate to Cloud Storage > Buckets
  3. Find your bucket by name (it will have a unique suffix like my-first-bucket-abc123)
The bucket should be visible with the location you specified (EU in the quickstart example).

​
Troubleshooting Verification Failures

​
Resource Stuck in PENDING

If a resource stays in PENDING state for more than a few minutes:
  • Check dependencies - Resources wait for their dependencies to reach READY first
  • Verify credentials - Your GCP credentials may have expired

​
Resource Shows FAILED

A failed resource means something went wrong during provisioning. Check the error details:
Common failure causes:

​
Resource Not Appearing in List

If pragma resources list shows nothing:
  • Verify you applied the resource with pragma resources apply bucket.yaml
  • Check you’re authenticated: pragma auth whoami
  • Ensure the YAML file has valid syntax

​
Recovering from Failures

If your resource is in FAILED state:
  1. Check the error message with pragma resources get
  2. Fix the underlying issue (permissions, configuration, etc.)
  3. Re-apply the resource:
For more complex recovery scenarios, see the Error Recovery guide.
