sourceAccounts is of type

aws.organizations.Account[]

its the result of calling

new aws.organizations.Account

with

accountid

being of type

pulumi.Output<string>

oh I think I got where you went wrong. try and inverse map and apply.

actually this works even I believe

const accountids = accounts.map(account => account.id)

should give you a

pulumi.Output<string>[]

i saw this before

not 100% sure how to avoid it when trying to organize my ‘units’

ie, i have a

logging.ts

and

businessUnit.ts

and i am trying to use the acount.id from businessUnit in logging to set up the policy, and then the log bucket in businessUnit to send logs to the right place

the config has to be all in one file instead of being split by AWS account it seems

that will throw the error also

say you have account1.ts and account2.ts, at the top of those files you have

import * as logging from "./logging"

then in the logging file you have

import * as account1 from "account1"
import * as account 2 from "account2"

then the code above

it will pass the typescript compiler but when you run it you get

id called on undefined

because of the circular logic

basically have to move the import of logging below the creation of any resources that you might need to use in the ‘logging’ unit, hard to remember that though

so now i have:

const account = new aws.organizations.Account("foo", {email: "<mailto:foo12345@bar.com|foo12345@bar.com>"}, {})

import * as logging from "./logging"

and it’s ok

like

import { Logger } from "./logging"
const account1 = new aws.organizations.Account("foo", {email: "<mailto:foo12345@bar.com|foo12345@bar.com>"}, {})
const account1Logger = new Logger(account1)

or

import { createLogger } from "./logging"
const account1 = new aws.organizations.Account("foo", {email: "<mailto:foo12345@bar.com|foo12345@bar.com>"}, {})
const account1Logger = createLogger(account1)

but that's just my preference! glad to know you've figured out a work around
