I can confirm all is good using go 1.12.9. if anyone else gets stuck with this, run the following

Copy code

go get <http://golang.org/dl/go1.12.9|golang.org/dl/go1.12.9>
go1.12.9 download

go1.12.9 build

Morning gophers - in Terraform, there is a count argument which allows you to create multiple instances of a resource. How can i achieve this with pulumi using Go?

@cold-car-23440 you can use a loop to do the same thing

that's what it is was created in place of in Terraform

Remember you do need to make the names of each resource unique - so you probably want to assign them as being

fmt.Sprintf("base-name-%d", i)

where

is your loop enumerator

newbie issue here. I’m trying to create multiple NICs in azure below is my code snippet:

Copy code

var consulcount [5]int

		for i := range consulcount {
			consulnicename := fmt.Sprintf("consul-nic-%d", i+0)
			ipConfig := map[string]interface{}{
				"subnetid":                  vaultSubnet.ID(),
				"name":                      fmt.Sprintf("consul-nic-ipc-%d", i+0),
				"PrivateIPAllocationMethod": "Dynamic",
			}
			consulNics, err := network.NewNetworkInterface(ctx, consulnicename, &network.NetworkInterfaceArgs{
				Name:              consulnicename,
				ResourceGroupName: resourceGroup.Name(),
				Location:          location,
				IpConfigurations:  ipConfig,
			})
			if err != nil {
				return err
			}
			ctx.Export("nic-name", consulNics.Name())

		}

I’m getting the following error

Copy code

error: azure:network/networkInterface:NetworkInterface resource 'consul-nic-3' has a problem: ip_configuration: should be a list

not quite sure how to present these params as a list as IpConfigurations is sort of a nested block in terraform terms any pointers would be greatly appreciated

@cold-car-23440 Do this for

IpConfigurations

assignment:

IpConfigurations: []interface{}{ipConfig},

Unfortunately the type system of Go is not especially helpful here

cold-car-23440

09/24/2019, 5:11 PM

yea i know what you mean!

Can I build in resource dependancy?

stocky-spoon-28903

09/25/2019, 7:43 AM

Yes, in the resource options

Awesome - is there any documentation about this that I can refer to?

cold-car-23440

09/25/2019, 7:45 AM

Nice - thanks once again @stocky-spoon-28903

This may be a little tricky if the resource being depended on is described inside a loop as the variable scope will not be accessible from the new resource that relies on it

stocky-spoon-28903

09/25/2019, 9:36 AM

Collect them outside the loop?

stocky-spoon-28903

09/25/2019, 9:37 AM

Copy code

var things []Thing

for _, _ := range things_to_make {
    things = append(things, NewThing(...))
}

NewY(..., ResourceOpts{ DependsOn = things })

stocky-spoon-28903

09/25/2019, 9:37 AM

Something like that

cold-car-23440

09/25/2019, 10:02 AM

funny that, was just talking to my colleague and he suggested the same thing @stocky-spoon-28903

broad-dog-22463

09/25/2019, 10:04 AM

I think that dependsOn is []string of IDs

broad-dog-22463

09/25/2019, 10:04 AM

so hsould be easy enough

cold-car-23440

09/25/2019, 10:05 AM

yea it is. Thanks @broad-dog-22463

Ah yes - substitute the array for []ResourceId then instead
