I'm getting an

Output<string>

is not an

Input<string>

error.

That would be surprising - an

Output

is definitely a legal value of an

Input

. Do you have the error message?

is there a way to use a kubernetes service's load balancer ip for creating a dns record

Definitely should be possible. Something like https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/master/aws-ts-eks-hello-world/index.ts#L85 passed into the

A

record resource should work.

yes, that's generally what i'm trying to do. Error is:

Type 'Output<string> | undefined' is not assignable to type 'Input<string>'

and it's triggering on the line for the

value

of the

digitalocean.DnsRecord

resource

The key part of the error is the

| undefined

. That is telling you that the value may not be available, so you either need to write an

if (something.ip) { ... }

and handle the case it is unavailable, or else use

something.ip!

in TypeScript to ignore the possibility it is undefined if you are really sure it will not be

undefined

in practice for you use-case.

i've more or less done the

if

. right now, i'm just doing a check on the ingress hostname, and if it's part of our DO domain, then add the records. when it's not part of that DO domain, then it's probably an internal/testing cluster where there's wildcard DNS set up. do you think there is a better way to handle that? if i gate to

something.ip

will typescript know it can't be undefined? i'm not very well-versed in typescript

Yes - TypeScript does data-flow-based typechecking, so if you have code checking for it being undefined, any other branch will remove the

| undefined

from the observed type. It's generally very good at this - and this type check actually frequently catches real bugs.
