Creating resources within apply can lead to problems. It breaks the Pulumi dependency graph.

Can you share code sample, I'd like to understand why dependsOn doesn't help here.

<@UQ8K13T7X>
```const buildOptions: docker.DockerBuild = {
  dockerfile: '../docker/Dockerfile.production',
  context: '../..',
  args: {
    run: process.env.GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER
  }
}

export const image = repository.buildAndPushImage(buildOptions)

export const runNumber = process.env.GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER

const helmChart = new k8s.helm.v2.Chart(
  'magneto2',
  {
    path: '../helm',
    values: {
      image,
    },
  },
  {
    provider: k8sProvider,
  },
);```

Also, how can I get it to retrigger on `GIT_RUN_NUMBER`? I tried changing it and I can see `runNumber` changing but it doesn't retrigger the build

In order to establish a dependency on the image, you could replace one of your parameters with an apply that doesn't use the value:

```path : image.apply( v=&gt; '../heml'),```

See this issue: <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/2545>

`Type 'Output&lt;string&gt;' is not assignable to type 'string'.ts(2322)`

Ah, yes that value is a string. You might have to use that pattern on a different field that accepts inputs. cc <@UE1LN7A22> or <@UCWG26BH7> (some of our kube experts).

I tried using it in in `values` but it didn't seem to help

```export const image = repository.buildAndPushImage(buildOptions)

export const tag = image.apply(i =&gt; i.split(':').reverse()[0])

const helmChart = new k8s.helm.v2.Chart(
  'magneto2',
  {
    path: '../helm',
    values: {
      image: {
        repository: repository.repository.repositoryUrl,
        tag
      },
    },
  },
  {
    provider: k8sProvider,
  },
);```
Like this

It created the chart but waited with the deployment

Every day I use pulumi I'm just amazed how good it is
