How are you accessing the secret? Is it stored in pulumi config? If so, you shouldn't need to use interpolate, as the secret is just treated as an output sting anyway

I am storing it in the Pulumi config. When I read it as

config.requireSecret

, the type is

Output<String>

and not string

What resource are you trying to pass it in to?

A custom one. I am writing a dynamic provider and I am reading the API credentials through secrets and passing it as

Authorization

for the API using the

got

library. Currently, using a workaround of `config.require()`instead of

config.requireSecret

but I would ideally like it be to a forced secret instead of it being an optional one

Have you tried type casting it?

Does not work, it throws the same error -

Error: Secret outputs cannot be captured by a closure

My code snippet if that helps -

const nameComUserName = config.requireSecret("name-com-user-name");
const nameComToken = config.requireSecret("name-com-token");

...

"Authorization": `Basic ${Buffer.from(`${nameComUserName}` as string +":"+`${nameComToken}` as string , 'binary').toString('base64')}`

Do you have the full code? That doesn't really help too much

Instead of trying to get a string out of your output, you should do your API call inside of an apply

Thank you
