if i make a kubernetes namespace, and then want to use that namespace later on resources, is there a way to make it show up in the diff on the resources? it just appears as 
output<string>
, even though the namespace resource shows the actual string

it needs to know name upfront, instead of using namespace resource name, use same input for both namespace and resources in that namespace and use ` {dependsOn: []} option for resources to enforce order
so instead of (pseudocode):
Copy code
const name = "x";
const ns = new k8s.Namespace(name)
const cfg = new k8s.Configmap("abc", { namespace: ns.name })
do
Copy code
const name = "x";
const ns = new k8s.Namespace(name)
const cfg = new k8s.Configmap("abc", { namespace: name }, {dependsOn: [ns]})

unfortunately, can't do that because of pulumi's name mangling
i.e. the namespace isn't actually 
name
, it's e.g. 
name-tld6bkwm

try 
new k8s.Namespace(name, { name: name })
usually it forces name of a resource you want

do you mean as the second or third argument?

@bitter-dentist-28132 You should be able to reference the ns 
.metadata.name

@gorgeous-egg-16927 that's what i'm doing, but it appears as 
output<string>
in the preview/diff

Would you mind opening an issue about that? We’ve been working on some changes to diff behavior lately, and that could be a regression.

@best-xylophone-83824 i guess you mean to use 
{metadata: {name: name}}
since that's what's accepted by the type. which, interestingly, does then show the actual output in the diff, even when using 
namespaceResource.metadata.name
filed the ticket.
