kustomize build error: evalsymlink failure

[ringods]

What happened?

When deploying the example below, I get the following error:

pulumi up
Previewing update (desk8s)

When checking after this error, everything up to /private/var/folders/mp/9wctftz9039d4jdch0y48r780000gn/T exists, but the subfolder kustomize-3015178404 and lower doesn't exist.

Example

Following the example Kustomize Directory from a Git Repo, I replaced the example location with the one I wanted:

const crds = new k8s.kustomize.v2.Directory("snapshot-controller-crds", {
    directory: "https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-snapshotter/tree/v8.1.0/client/config/crd",
});

We use the upstream Kustomize library to help with downloading remote artifacts. From Kustomize's documentation, the GitHub URL should follow the following documented structure. As such, your Pulumi program should be updated to be:

const crds = new k8s.kustomize.v2.Directory("snapshot-controller-crds", {
  directory: "https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/external-snapshotter//client/config/crd?ref=v8.1.0",
});

I noticed that the URL used in our documentation is not a working/correct example, so I'll leave this issue open for us to update our docs.

Verified that with the correct URL structure, the deployment works.
