Question

Is there a way to get an attribute from a resource using its resource name For example I create a bucket after a reference to that bucket ```some other resource = foo resource foores s3 bucket id = bucket1 id bucket1 = s3 bucket bucket1 args ``` This would be likened to Interpolation in terraform Or tropospheres ability to use Ref lt resource name gt

Could you describe your use case a bit more I d like to better understand why you can t ```bucket1 = s3 bucket bucket1 args some other resource = foo resource foores s3 bucket id = bucket1 id ```

What I want to do is this ```some other resource = foo resource foores s3 bucket id = bucket1 id bucket1 = s3 bucket bucket1 args ```

polite-iron-99873 · Answer

I am trying to convert Troposphere code to be used with pulumi and Tropospere allows for cases like what I showed Terraform uses interpolation to tackle this problem as well

i think i m just trying to understand why the order cannot be switched

polite-iron-99873 · Answer

The order cannot be switched because of python ```UnboundLocalError local variable bucket1 referenced before assignment error an unhandled error occurred Program exited with non zero exit code 1```

Is there a way to utilize the resource name As in ```some other resource = foo resource foores s3 bucket id = bucketResourceName id bucket1 = s3 bucket bucketResourceName args ```

faint-table-42725 · Answer

no i meant the order in terms of bucket1 comes first

faint-table-42725 · Answer

```bucket1 = s3 bucket bucketResourceName args some other resource = foo resource foores s3 bucket id = bucketResourceName id ```

sorry if i am totally misunderstanding

faint-table-42725 · Answer

but i don t see why some other resource cannot come afterward bucket1 has no dependency on some other resource

polite-iron-99873 · Answer

It could come afterward in this situation but in certain conditionals in my code I can t always reverse the order I mainly just want to know pre referencing is possible or if I could reference a resource based on the resource name somehow Its fine if the answer is no but I can t find anything online that says if I have access to the resource names

faint-table-42725 · Answer

Unfortunately you can t do it via referencing the resource name I think if you really need to do this kind of thing your best bet would be to not use autonaming and force the name in the subsequent statement when you create the bucket
