@cuddly-leather-18640 try this instead:
Copy code
apiIntentRobotServiceAccount.metadata.apply(m => m.name)
get
does something else. 
.apply
is the method you want.
c
it worked!
c
👍🏼
c
is there documentation on this somewhere? I’m surprised that 
get
doesn’t give me the resource
followup question @creamy-potato-29402: I created the resources in my paste first through yaml and applied them. Now i’m trying to move the resources to pulumi and the preview is showing that they all need to be created. is that expected behavior?
c
@cuddly-leather-18640 yes, these docs are generated from the typescript comments: https://pulumi.io/reference/pkg/nodejs/@pulumi/pulumi/index.html#method-get

There's some light conceptual docs on this here https://pulumi.io/reference/programming-model.html#outputs. But more is definitely needed. /cc also @lemon-spoon-91807.
c
So if you are using vscode or something like that, hovering over 
get
should tell you what the method does.
@cuddly-leather-18640 I’m not sure I understand your follow-up question?
Have you created those resources in Pulumi?
If you haven’t run 
pulumi up
before, the preview is going to tell you that it’s going to create those resources.
c
ah gotcha, even if those resources already exist pre-pulumi? I’ve already written and applied a k8s yaml spec with a service account, role and rolebinding. Now I’m moving this yaml to pulumi and it seems that 
preview
isn’t seeing what I’ve already applied
c
Pulumi will not know about them if you didn’t create them with Pulumi
You can use 
k8s.core.v1.ServiceAccount.get('api-intent-robot')
to reference resources that already exist.
c
ah gotcha
thanks 🙂

@cuddly-leather-18640 since this a common pattern I actually added a utility function to our library few days ago.
Copy code
apiIntentRobotServiceAccount.metadata.apply(m => m.name)
you can just write:
Copy code
import { getName} from '@solvvy/pulumi-util';

getName(apiIntentRobotServiceAccount);
🙂
