Hello everybody. I am fairly new to Pulumi and like many before I have some issues with Output... I understand the need to have something that will be replaced by the real value at runtime but I am facing some issue in my code to.... I have tried many stuffs using apply but I thing I am just using them badly.... Here is a snippet of what I am trying to acheive (in GCP)

userProject = organizations.Project("Foo",                                      
                                     billing_account="XXXXXXX",                    
                                     folder_id="YYYYYYY",                          
                                     project_id="Foo",                             
                                     auto_create_network="false")                  
projects.Service(userProject.project_id,                                           
                   disable_dependent_services=True,                                
                   project=userProject.project_id                                  
                   service=i"<http://cloudapis.googleapis.com|cloudapis.googleapis.com>")

As you can see I am trying to get te project_id of the project that I have just created... Can you explain me how acheive that ? My code is a bit more complicated with some concatenations between Outputs and str but I think I am clearly missing the point how to extract the value from Output Thanks

The snippet that you’ve shown here should work as written. What about it doesn’t work?

wouldn't this fail with sth like "project id not a string, it is an Output object"

wouldn’t this fail with sth like “project id not a string, it is an Output object”

Yeah that’s fair, You can’t use an Output as the

resource_name

for another resource. But you can use it for every other argument in a resource. Specifically:

projects.Service(userProject.project_id,           <-- this will not work                                   
                 disable_dependent_services=True,                                
                 project=userProject.project_id,   <-- this works fine                               
                 service="<http://cloudapis.googleapis.com|cloudapis.googleapis.com>")

So that is exactly the error that I am facing...

TypeError: Expected resource name to be a string

I am not sure what can I do here... Do you have some tips to share ?

I would suggest that you give your

Service

a different name. Is that not an option?

It is... This is what I was envisaging 🙂
