03/10/2020, 7:54 PMCould you describe your use-case a bit more? I’d like to better understand why you can’t:
Copy code
bucket1 = s3.bucket("bucket1", ...args)
...
some_other_resource = foo.resource("foores", s3_bucket_id = bucket1.id, ...)p

03/10/2020, 8:08 PMWhat I want to do is this:
Copy code
some_other_resource = foo.resource("foores", s3_bucket_id = bucket1.id, ...)
...
bucket1 = s3.bucket("bucket1", ...args)polite-iron-99873
03/10/2020, 8:10 PMI 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

03/10/2020, 8:57 PMi think i’m just trying to understand why the order cannot be switched?

03/10/2020, 9:11 PMThe order cannot be switched because of python.
Copy code
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'bucket1' referenced before assignment
error: an unhandled error occurred: Program exited with non-zero exit code: 1polite-iron-99873
03/10/2020, 9:18 PMIs there a way to utilize the resource name? As in:
Copy code
some_other_resource = foo.resource("foores", s3_bucket_id = "bucketResourceName".id, ...)
...
bucket1 = s3.bucket("bucketResourceName", ...args)f

03/10/2020, 9:54 PMno, i meant the order in terms of bucket1 comes first

03/10/2020, 9:55 PM Copy code
bucket1 = s3.bucket("bucketResourceName", ...args)
...
some_other_resource = foo.resource("foores", s3_bucket_id = "bucketResourceName".id, ...)faint-table-42725
03/10/2020, 9:55 PMsorry if i am totally misunderstanding
faint-table-42725
03/10/2020, 9:55 PMbut i don’t see why some_other_resource cannot come afterward? bucket1 has no dependency on some_other_resource

03/11/2020, 12:33 PMIt 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.

03/11/2020, 5:20 PMUnfortunately, 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.
