having a huge problem trying to get an sns topic, and then set the topic &amp; topic arn for creating a subscription, has anyone else dealt with SNS topics &amp; subscriptions?

i’ve tried
```const sometopic = pulumi.output(aws.sns.getTopic({ name: 'sometopic-3ce3de0' }, { async: true }))

const topicArn = sometopic.apply(o =&gt; o.arn)```
and also:
```const someTopic = aws.sns.Topic.get('sometopic', '3ce3de0')
const topicArn = someTopic.apply(stack =&gt; pulumi.output(stack.arn))```
but its not giving me the results I’m expecting of
```export declare type ARN = string;```
its showing me crap like
```topicArn OutputImpl {
      __pulumiOutput: true,
      isKnown: Promise { &lt;pending&gt; },
      isSecret: Promise { false },
      resources: [Function],
      allResources: [Function],
      promise: [Function],
      toString: [Function],
      toJSON: [Function] }```

I assume you’re trying to do something like this?
```const sometopic = pulumi.output(aws.sns.getTopic({ name: 'sometopic' });
const subscription = new aws.sns.TopicSubscription("subscription", {
    topic: sometopic.arn
    // ...
});```
Anything you’re getting stuck on?

Yeah that looks like it. But this is for the subscription permissions portion. Might work the same.
