Anyone know how to cast an Output<string> to a string? https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/7179

I am no expert here, but I was making a similar error starting out.

apply

does not return

String

it returns

Output<String>

you can only access the value of

key

within the callback. Usually this is not an issue as any arg can take type

Output<T>

as an input. However, it seems that you are assigning the config value

mySecret

to the name of the PrivateKey which is of type

string

. Is that what you intended to do? https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/tls/privatekey/#inputs

Yes that’s exactly it. I can’t change the argument to be an Output<string> in this instance (which is my normal trick) as I don’t have control of the PrivateKey class as it is part of the

@pulumi/tls

library
