seeing this as part of diff preview for an ecs service. The task definition being supplied to the service resource is being updated along with the task definition itself. I’d expect to see

output

as a placeholder for the value update, is this normal?

taskDefinition                 : "arn:aws:ecs:eu-west-1:xxxxx:task-definition/xxxxxr:18" => {"Element":{"V":""}}

Are you seeing this in the app.pulumi.com console, or also in the CLI output?

Assuming that is app.pulumi.com, it should show you

output<string>

or similar. That

{"Element": {"V": ""}}

business is us leaking some of the implementation details of the (byzantine) ways we encode objects. I’ll fine a bug on our end to get that fixed in the Pulumi Service.

Only in the pulumi web gui. The CLI does display

output<string>
