Question

I m sure I m missing something simple here but how can I use an external stack reference inside the following ```const secret = pulumi output aws secretsmanager getSecret name stackReferenceToSecretName async true ``` I keep running into a typescript error `Type string | Output lt any gt is not assignable to type string | undefined `

Not really an AWS question slightly smiling face Is the problem occurring when you use secret elsewhere Or in this code when you use stackReferenceToSecretName

You ve got a type error and you need to access the value in an Output appropriately Just need to figure out where

It is in this code the type error appears when assigning stackReferenceToSecretName to name

Great Can you add the code where you initialize the variable

```const coreStackRef = new pulumi StackReference `name project $ pulumi getStack ` const hasuraCredentialsSecretName = coreStackRef getOutput hasuraCredentialsSecretKeyName const hasuraCredentialsSecret = pulumi output aws secretsmanager getSecret name hasuraCredentialsSecretName async true ```

It should be something like this `const secretInfo pulumi Output lt GetSecretResult gt = stackReferenceToSecretName apply secretName = gt aws secretsmanager getSecret name secretName `

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

The apply will automatically convert the returned Promise lt GetSecretResult gt into a pulumi Output lt GetSecretResult gt for you

If the secretValue was created in another stack and you want to use it in this stack you might find that the aws secretsmanager SecretVersion get static method helps you avoid a little boilerplate code
