Is there a way for me to manually create a

pulumi.Output

? I'm trying to unit test a function that accepts this as a function param but I can't grok out how to do this.

Type usage question: I see some of both

Output

and

OutputInstance

in the source code. Which one should I use in my own code? Does it matter?

When working with external

CRD

s, how do I create an equvalent Pulumi Class for their

yaml

config?

Hi there, is there any way to import an existing EKS cluster into Pulumi? I get an error when I try to use the

import

syntax as I have for other resources.

I'm curious - is there a way to use Pulumi like a regular module and invoke a "pulumi up" inside a node.js script, with all the output returned in a string (or object)? The reason I ask, is that I'm looking to use Pulumi in a more continuous model and not just a "one shot" call to pulumi up.

Hi its me again! Somewhat related to my question from yesterday: so I was able to import my existing EKS cluster into my stack using

_aws_._eks_._Cluster_

and now I want to create a new node group using the

createNodeGroup()

from

'@pulumi/eks/nodegroup'

(bc there’s a lot of really good stuff in there I don’t want to have to rewrite). When I try to pass my cluster in I get the following error:

Type 'Cluster' is not assignable to type 'Cluster | CoreData'.
  Type 'Cluster' is missing the following properties from type 'Cluster': kubeconfig, provider, clusterSecurityGroup, instanceRoles, and 9 more.ts(2322)
nodegroup.d.ts(164, 5): The expected type comes from property 'cluster' which is declared here on type 'NodeGroupOptions'

And at this point I’m not really sure how to proceed 😞 Is there any way to use that function on an eks cluster I imported into my stack? Thanks in advance!

If one wanted to use Babel instead of the Pulumi runtime to transpile TypeScript, is importing from the build folder the recommended way to do so?

Hello. I am new to Pulumi and Typescript and I am trying to create a DigitalOcean Kubernetes cluster. The cluster resource have a property region of type "digitalocean.Region" that I want to make configurable. It is possible to read a string from config and convert it to an object of that type without manually mapping? Here is the type definitions of the region object:

Is there a way to convert an

Output<T>

to a string?

Trying to provision a github resource using a dynamic provider i created similar to the example provided here and getting the following error, has anyone come across this before?

error: Error serializing '() => provider': index.js(19,37)

'() => provider': index.js(19,37): captured
  variable 'provider' which indirectly referenced
    function 'create': Labels.ts(28,10): which captured
      module './Labels.ts' which indirectly referenced
        function 'bound register': which could not be serialized because
          it was a native code function.

Function code:
  function () { [native code] }

Capturing modules can sometimes cause problems.
Consider using import('./Labels.ts') or require('./Labels.ts') inside function 'create': Labels.ts(28,10)

I am using an eks API that takes an

aws.Region

parameter, but

aws.RegionResult.name

doesn't have the right type. Is this a bug in the typings? The API:

export declare function getRoleProvider(name: string, region?: aws.Region, profile?: string, parent?: pulumi.ComponentResource): CreationRoleProvider;

getRegion:

export declare function getRegion(args?: GetRegionArgs, opts?: pulumi.InvokeOptions): Promise<GetRegionResult> & GetRegionResult;
export interface GetRegionResult {
    /**
     * The region's description in this format: "Location (Region name)".
     */
    readonly description: string;
    /**
     * The EC2 endpoint for the selected region.
     */
    readonly endpoint: string;
    /**
     * The name of the selected region.
     */
    readonly name: string;
    /**
     * id is the provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
     */
    readonly id: string;
}

You can cast this to <aws.Region> before the string

So maybe <aws.Region>myRegion.name will work for you

yep, that's what I'm doing. Seems like a silly workaround though.

Right now we are discussing about how enums can be used and how we are able to cater for situations like this

I agree with you that it’s not ideal at all

If you would be happy to, I’d love it for you to open a an issue on Pulumi-aws so we can raise visibility of it?

sure happy to open an issue!

And you can tag me, @stack72, in it so I can see it

Thanks!

I’m attempting to use a stack output as an argument into another stack’s resource but I’m getting an error saying

Output<string> is not assigned to type 'string'

I’m using the

getOutput

function as described in https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/programming-model/#stack-references

Hi - I'm trying to write a unit test for a function that calls:

aws.getCallerIdentity().accountId

I'm trying to find information on mock AWS providers for Pulumi. I found this PR, but zero additional documentation for how to use it. I also can't find much information about tests beyond this blog post that is very cursory. Anyway, does anyone have any information about how to mock the AWS provider? Spefically the

getCallerIdentity()

function?

I’m amidst refactoring some Pulumi code using

aliases

. I need to debug why my

preview

still says a resource will be deleted and created. Is there any way to see the values of the

CustomResourceOptions

in the output?

Hi guys, I'm new to typescript and don't know how it implements strong or weak typing, serialization and so on. Anyways, my Problem is that in one stack I export an object of type eks.Cluster. In another stack where I get it as output, it is of Type Output<any>. How can i cast it to eks.Cluster so that I can access its fields like eksCluster.nodeSecurityGroup.id and so on? Thx for your help!

Is there a way to delay for x seconds after one resource is created but before another is created? When I create my Azure Service Principal, and then create an AKS Kubernetes Cluster with that Azure Service Principal, sometimes it fails because replication of the Service Principal needs to occur. If I could just delay by 30 seconds or so after the Service Principal is created and before it starts creating the AKS Kubernetes cluster, it would allow my pipeline to pass first time without having to re-run as I do currently.

I have a somewhat newbie-ish question. I'm trying to store stack-specific configuration details with

pulumi config set ...

and then access them in my TypeScript code. In the past, when only dealing with AWS-specific details, I'd use this code:

const config = new pulumi.Config("aws");
const configRegion = config.require("region");

Now, though, I'm trying access both AWS-specific details and non-AWS specific information. I would've thought this would work, but it doesn't:

const config = new pulumi.Config();
const configRegion = config.require("aws:region");

Instead, I keep getting prompted to set configuration value

<stack-name>:aws:region

. I've set the region using

pulumi config set aws:region us-west-2

and

pulumi config set <stack-name>:aws:region us-west-2

, both to no avail. (The latter option doesn't work, even though that's what

pulumi preview

references as an error.) What am I missing?

Hey, can someone show me how I can define a KeyValuePair array in TS aws ecs container definition, as in the following example container definition? Cheers

Is there some magic to being able to use --target to create an awsx resource? It seems like if I target a vpc

--target urn:pulumi:prod1::api::awsx:x:ec2:Vpc\$aws:ec2/vpc:Vpc::some-vpc --target-dependents

the dependency graph only spits out the VPC, and none of the subnets / nat gateways / whatever else in the VPC. Then it fails on creation, with

urn:pulumi:prod1::api::awsx:x:ec2:Vpc\$aws:ec2/vpc:Vpc::some-vpc could not be found in the stack.

Unless you can't use target to create things...
