If I understand your question correctly, it looks like you’re trying to extract the token value as a

string

and use that value elsewhere in your program. The reason you got the error is because the

get

methods return an

Output

, which is a computed value (i.e. Promise). This means that the value isn’t known prior to running the update. Rather than trying to use the string value directly, you can pass the Output values around to other resources, and they will be resolved correctly during the update. https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/programming-model/#outputs explains this in more detail We also have extensive k8s-specific examples here: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/guides/crosswalk/kubernetes/

the problem is the

tokenName

which i interpolate into a string and pass that to the

Secret.get

method. if i change

Secret.get("somevalue"...)

it works

Ah, understood. Currently, the

get

methods only accept a

string

for the

name

arg, not an Output. I can’t recall if there’s a technical reason for that, but you’re welcome to open an issue on the pulumi-kubernetes repo. https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/nodejs/pulumi/kubernetes/core/v1/#Secret-get
