Sorry you're hitting this rough edge. I believe this is the same issue as <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-azure/issues/470>

It was fixed by <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/pull/4010> and will be shipped with our next CLI release on wednesday.

aha! that might be it :thinking_face: that’ll teach me to actually read other issues too, sorry :flushed:

so I’ll wait till Wednesday :smile: , thanks for the super quick response <@UQ8K13T7X>

<@UJNMD7BB9> you should be able to work around this. You can provide something like `&amp;ec2.GetInstanceArgs{}` instead of `nil` for that fourth parameter

<@UQ8K13T7X> is there a way to convert the Pulumi types (like StringOutput or MapOutput) to their respective Go types? For example, I want to check the tags of resources to make sure that a certain tag is set and if it isn’t set perform an action.

<@UJNMD7BB9> as these values are essentially futures/promises, you need to use `pulumi.Apply` to execute a callback on the raw values. Some docs on this here:

<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/programming-model/#apply>

A common pattern we use if unit testing functionality is to pass the raw values back into channels. There's an example of that here:

<https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/blob/master/sdk/go/pulumi/types_test.go#L320-L349>

Does that help? Let me know if you have more questions.

Thanks! I’ll go try it out tonight :slightly_smiling_face:

<@UQ8K13T7X>, forgot to update you sorry :grimacing: the `Apply` was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the help :raised_hands:
