neither `str vpc cidr block 0 resourceRecordValue ` nor `str vpc cidr block 0 resource record value ` work

sparse-state-34229 · Answer

even though the docs say they should <https www pulumi com docs intro concepts programming model lifting>

sparse-state-34229 · Answer

unless `resource record value` is a route53 thing if so it would be helpful to use more general examples

big-piano-35669 · Answer

Lifting doesn t allow the object to masquerade as the underlying value in all cases only for basic property accesses And even then the result of the lifting itself is an output The `apply` function is generally what you want here ```def dothing vpc vpc cidr block apply do thing ```

big-piano-35669 · Answer

A bit more detail here <https www pulumi com docs intro concepts programming model apply> The reason for this is that the value for a given resource property isn t always known until actually provisioning the resource

thanks i tried that but it s still returning an `Output`

sparse-state-34229 · Answer

sparse-state-34229 · Answer

which is causing an issue for L4 and L22 here

sparse-state-34229 · Answer

the print isn t a big deal just trying to validate that it s actually a string

sparse-state-34229 · Answer

if L2 is e g `vpc network = ip network 10 0 0 0 8 ` it works fine

i replied in a separate thread as well but `apply` will return an `Output`

faint-table-42725 · Answer

you should think of `Output` as a promise or async task

faint-table-42725 · Answer

so we don t know necessarily know the value and so we must deal with that in an async way

faint-table-42725 · Answer

in the gist you provided `vpc network` is still an `Output` if you want to print it L3 should be `vpc network network address apply print ` you re able to reference `network address` through lifting the more literal way to write this would be `vpc network apply lambda v print v network address `

sparse-state-34229 · Answer

thanks I get what you re saying but in practice it doesn t make sense if I try `vpc name = Output all tags apply lambda x x 0 get Name ` then `vpc name` is still an Output but according to the docs that is lifting

sparse-state-34229 · Answer

when I try to use `vpc name` later in a formatted string it doesn t work

sparse-state-34229 · Answer

I m either not sufficiently explaining what I want to do or it is just not possible

sparse-state-34229 · Answer

the call that causes that error is ``` vpc name = Output all tags apply lambda x x 0 get Name tags are a pulumi aws ec2 Vpc object tags name = f vpc name bastion ingress bastion ingress = ec2 SecurityGroup name name=name ```

sparse-state-34229 · Answer

even if i use apply when assigning `name` it is an output

sparse-state-34229 · Answer

which causes an exception on the name parameter to `ec2 SecurityGroup`
