Question

Hi Everyone I cannot get to the bottom of this A string is being converted to an integer or something like that resulting in leading zero being stripped I ve tried double quoting it single quoting it Any advice appreciated my `Pulumi develop yaml` file ```config aws profile 028111111111 AWSAdministratorAccess aws region ap southeast 2 myprojectname aws account id 028111111111 myprojectname dns domain redacted myprojectname aws route53 zoneid redacted ``` When I attempt to use this value `aws account id` in the code it strips the zero The stripping doesn t happen to the `aws profile` Perhaps because it contains some alpha characters too or perhaps because the aws provider handles the variable differently This is where I tried to use it in an IAM policy ``` Allow to send emails with SES Action ses SendEmail Effect Allow Resource arn aws ses $ aws region $ aws account id identity $ ses DomainIdentity domain can t use this due to bug with yaml stripping leading 0 from aws account id```

Do you have a reference to that configuration value in the `config` block of your `Pulumi yaml` file If so you can specify a `type` property there set it to string and that may help resolve the issue

< salmon account 74572> I tried that perhaps I m missing something simple So this value `aws account id` is different for each stack hence its original location in the stack files i e `Pulumi develop yaml` `Pulumi staging yaml` etc I tried to implement your suggestion by adding a couple of lines under `config ` at the top of `Pulumi yaml` like so ```config aws account id type string``` Then I printed the output like so ```outputs Debug printouts accIDString $ aws account id ``` And it s still getting converted ```Outputs + accIDString 2 809102044e+10``` I also tried a slightly different way but this just printed the variable name ```config awsAccountID type string default $ aws account id outputs Debug printouts accIDString $ awsAccountID ~~~~~~~~ Outputs + accIDString $ aws account id ```
