I would like to get a Pulumi secret value from my config and use it as a string in my code. Is that at all possible? I've been banging my head trying to figure out how to do this for hours.

apply

does not seem to convert

Output[str]

despite documentation and everyone on the internet saying this is the way to accomplish this... I'm working in Python, Btw.

apply

does not seem to convert

Output[str]

Apply doesn’t convert an

Output[str]

it waits for the value to be returned, then does something with it. What do you have so far? You like want to do:

value.apply(lambda v: //download the file here)

brilliant, thank you!

I updated the inputs and outputs doc yesterday, you may consider reading it and seeing if it’s easier to grok now https://www.pulumi.com/docs/concepts/inputs-outputs/

thank you!

No there’s no post run callback, I’d just download the file into a temporary directory tbh

that's what I'm doing but still 😛 having init and cleanup hooks would be reaaaally nice
