Any of the python guru's knows how to get the string value out of random.RandomString

random_id = random.RandomString(
    resource_name='project-unique-id',
    length=8,
    lower=True,
    upper=False,
    special=False,
    min_numeric=4
)

is there a way to extract the string value from random_id.result?

what is the type currently?

yes

you need .apply possibly with

Output.all()

what i need to do is to get the subnet back later, i know it sounds problematic , but its required subnet = gcp.compute.get_subnetwork( name=subnet_name, project=project_id, region=gcp_region ) if subnet.self_link: return subnet.ip_cidr_range else: return allocate_new_cidr(base_cidr_range)

here is an example of how I do it:

yes i tried

that’s fine, you just can’t print it

its and an empty output object , but seems i don't have a way to verify if something was found

what do you mean by verify?

if i pass just a string to subnet name

subnet = gcp.compute.get_subnetwork(
    name='some-subnet-that-exists',
    project=my-proejct-id,
    region=gcp_region
)

if subnet exists i can verify with

if subnet.self_link:
    return subnet.ip_cidr_range

in what way does it not work?

subnet = pulumi.Output.all([config.project_id]).apply(
    lambda x: gcp.compute.get_subnetwork(
        name=f'{x[0][0]}-subnet',
        project=x[0][0],
        region=config.gcp_region
    )
)
if subnet.self_link:
    return subnet.ip_cidr_range

if subnet.self_link always true even if it doesn't exist

subnet.self_link

is bool?

it jus tests that its not None

well, there are ways that can be true without it being

None

thank very much anyways!

are you doing other things with

subnet

?

i'm creating it but i need to assign a specific cidr if it doesn't exist
