The behaviour here is a little strange - but is documented here: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/programming-model/#dynamic-resource-outputs

Not quite (and I actually see those docs are slightly confusingly phrased).
The salient part are the `undefined`s in this:
Copy code
super(myprovider, name, { myStringOutput: undefined, myNumberOutput: unedfiend, ...props }, opts);white-balloon-205

Any outputs you want to set on the resource object need to be passed as input properties (set to

08/06/2019, 5:20 PM@white-balloon-205 that works great, thanks a bunch!
yes, I will say those docs are a bit confusing since they show all the interface and type hints which most people using JavaScript won’t be using typically. The important bits (setting the undefined values in the ctor) got lost in the noise.
But it makes sense now!

Yep - definitely need to fix up that section. Glad it's working though!
