Another question, this time regarding tagging of resources. I load a set of default tags for all my resources from the config like this:

const config = pulumi.Config();
const defaultTags = config.requireObject<{ [key: string]: string }>("defaultTags");

These defaultTags look like:

config:
  aws:region: eu-central-1
  my-application:defaultTags:
    - team: application-team
    - environment: dev
    - cost-center: "123456"

Now, when I create a resource I would like to merge these defaultTags with the resource specifig tags like Name or others

const route53Zone = new aws.route53.Zone("applicationZone", {
  name: fqdn,
  tags: {
    ...defaultTags,
    Name: fqdn,
  }
});

But this one fails with an error like:

'' expected type 'string', got unconvertible type 'map[string]interface {}', value: 'map[team:application-team]'.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

@sticky-bear-14421 this looks like you’re marshalling the array of tags into the wrong type?

Hi @billowy-army-68599 I get the same output, but the route53 block still fails

...
tags: {
   ...defaulttags,
   Name: fqdn,
}

The complete error message is:

Diagnostics:
  aws:route53:Zone (storeapplication):
    error: aws:route53/zone:Zone resource 'applicationZone' has a problem: '' expected type 'string', got unconvertible type 'map[string]interface {}', value: 'map[team:application-team]'. Examine values at 'Zone.Tags["0"]'.

Exporting the defautlTags gives me the same result like you got:

Outputs:
  + defaultTags: [
  +     [0]: {
          + team: "application-team"
        }
  +     [1]: {
          + environment: "dev"
        }
  +     [2]: {
          + cost-center: 123456
        }
    ]

i think this can be fixed by just changing your defaultTags to just be an object/map, not an array

config:
  aws:region: eu-central-1
  my-application:defaultTags:
    team: application-team
    environment: dev
    cost-center: "123456"

Thanks for the suggestion, will give it a try and report.
