getOutput("someKey")

return type is

pulumi.Output<any>

not

pulumi.Output<string>

. You could leave the variable untyped

const ip = ...

or also use an apply statement to provide the string type.

getOutput("someKey").apply(s => <string>s);

So this is indeed a documentation bug?

By the looks of it, yeah.

thx for confirming
