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

&gt; My code is a bit more complicated with some concatenations between Outputs and str
I imagine this is the part that’s actually going wrong, so we’ll need an actual example of what you’re doing and the error you’re getting.

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

&gt; 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,           &lt;-- this will not work                                   
                 disable_dependent_services=True,                                
                 project=userProject.project_id,   &lt;-- 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 :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks at least for pointing that I cannot use it in the name property
