I am trying to use an output as a value in another resource but keep getting this:

To get the value of an Output<T> as an Output<string> consider either:
1: o.apply(v => `prefix${v}suffix`)
2: pulumi.interpolate `prefix${v}suffix`

Hi @eager-pillow-75917, You should provide us a snippet of your code in order to help you with. This error usually means what it says, your are not consuming the

Output

properly.

that's because the value is not resolved yet (it will be resolved at a later stage).

Thanks Garik.

ok, that depends on how you are using the return value of

infra.getOutput()

I had to do something like this to make it work.

const infra = new pulumi.StackReference("acmecorp/infra/${env}");

export const kubeConfig = infra.getOutput("kubeConfig");
let provider;
kubeConfig.apply(clusterNameOutput => {
  bucket = new k8s.Provider("k8s", { kubeconfig: kubeConfig });
});

i guess it may be outdated.

@eager-pillow-75917 if you provide the whole exact code you are using, someone can actually help you on your context. What the doc says works. I have several clusters doing exactly that.

this is how I did it. (the kubeconfig I was using the same xample as the documentation)

const infra = new pulumi.StackReference("infra-staging");

export const clusterNameOutput = infra.getOutput("stagingClusterName");

clusterNameOutput.apply(clusterNameOutput => {
  const bucket = new gcp.storage.Bucket(`my-test-bucket-${clusterNameOutput}`)
});

@eager-pillow-75917 I would be interested in what’s happening in the stack

infra-staging

exporting your

stagingClusterName

. But there’s already a problem in your code here: you shouldn’t try to use outputs in the name of a component, that should be a static string.

let´s try to abstract the issue here man

You know I’m actually trying to help you here, this is a community and we all give our time freely. We don’t work on “abstract”. The doc and examples work. So if you have an issue with your code that’s exactly where the problem resides, not on an “abstract” example of yours. So take it easy “man”. So, on an “asbtract” way of doing things, based on what you provided this morning, giving your

infra-staging

creates a cluster and exports the config like this:

export const { kubeconfig } = cluster

You can then do somewhere else something like this:

const infraStack = new pulumi.StackReference('infra-staging')

const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider('k8s-provider', {
  kubeconfig: infraStack.getOutput('kubeconfig')
})

const myNamespace = new k8s.core.v1.Namespace('whatever', {}, { provider: k8sProvider })
