anyone know what this error is off the top of their head

TSError: ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript:
    index.ts(4,20): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'awsx'.
    index.ts(8,19): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'awsx'.
    index.ts(13,24): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'awsx'.
    index.ts(22,51): error TS7006: Parameter 'e' implicitly has an 'any' type

Sounds like you are missing an

import * as awsx from "@pulumi/awsx"

at the top of your file?

of my .ts file?

Yep.

slightly different now...

pulumi:pulumi:Stack (container-quickstart-dev):
    Found incompatible versions of @pulumi/pulumi.  Differing major or minor versions are not supported.

Yes - you will need

npm intall @pulumi/awsx

to install the

awsx

package.

ok back to normal syntax erro``` index.ts(23,25): error TS2349: Cannot invoke an expression whose type lacks a call signature. Type 'OutputInstance<ListenerEndpoint> & LiftedObject<ListenerEndpoint, "hostname" | "port">' has no compatible call signatures.``` I wonder if the ts file is just wrong here https://pulumi.io/quickstart/aws/tutorial-service.html

Ahh - I was going to ask which tutorial you were following - cause it's clearly missing some steps! I'll open an issue to get that one fixed up.

Indeed. apologies. this is on me

so would final script be like this->

import * as awsx from "@pulumi/awsx"
// Create an elastic network listener to listen for requests and route them to the container.
// See <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/network/introduction.html>
// for more details.
let listener = new awsx.elasticloadbalancingv2.NetworkListener("nginx", { port: 80 });

// Define the service to run.  We pass in the listener to hook up the network load balancer
// to the containers the service will launch.
let service = new awsx.ecs.FargateService("nginx", {
    desiredCount: 2,
    taskDefinitionArgs: {
        containers: {
            nginx: {
                image: awsx.ecs.Image.fromPath("./app"),
                memory: 512,
                portMappings: [listener],
            },
        },
    },
});

// export just the hostname property of the container frontend
export const hostname = listener.endpoint.apply(e => `http://${e.hostname}`);

let me see 🙂
