What is the type of 
privSubnetIds
? Typically when you construct a pulumi array you do so like:
Copy code
pulumi.StringArray{
  pulumi.String("foo"),
  pulumi.String("bar)
}

@billowy-army-68599 I'll give that a look later this afternoon, thanks!

👍 there's a few examples in that repo, if you have any feedback give me a shout
s
Will do, much appreciated!
Sadly, I'm not making any real progress here, just chasing my tail. Here's how the array of subnet IDs is created in the infrastructure stack:
Copy code
privSubnetIds := make([]pulumi.StringInput, numOfAZs)
		for idx := 0; idx < numOfAZs; idx++ {
			subnetAddr := (idx * 32) + 16
			subnetCidrBlock := fmt.Sprintf("%s%d.0/22", netAddrMap[awsRegion], subnetAddr)
			subnet, err := ec2.NewSubnet(ctx, fmt.Sprintf("priv-subnet-%d", idx), &ec2.SubnetArgs{
				VpcId:               vpc.ID(),
				AvailabilityZone:    pulumi.String(azNames[idx]),
				CidrBlock:           pulumi.String(subnetCidrBlock),
				MapPublicIpOnLaunch: pulumi.Bool(false),
				Tags: pulumi.StringMap{
					"Name": pulumi.String(fmt.Sprintf("%s-priv-subnet-%d", baseName, idx)),
					k8sTag: pulumi.String("shared"),
				},
			})
			if err != nil {
				log.Printf("error creating private subnet: %s", err.Error())
			}
			privSubnetIds[idx] = subnet.ID()
		}
		ctx.Export("privSubnetIds", pulumi.StringArray(privSubnetIds))
Should I be a) using a different type for 
privSubnetIds
, b) using a different 
pulumi.<type>
function in the Export, c) both a and b, or d) something else entirely? Or is the problem in how I am bringing the value(s) into the second stack?
@lemon-agent-27707 @billowy-army-68599 Any thoughts on the above update?

@salmon-account-74572 I personally export the subnets as an IDArrayOutput: https://github.com/jaxxstorm/pulumi-aws-vpc/blob/go/go/main.go#L27 https://github.com/jaxxstorm/pulumi-aws-vpc/blob/go/go/main.go#L129 and then pass them as a stackref and you can wrap as a `pulumi.StringArrayOutput`: https://github.com/jaxxstorm/iac-in-go/blob/master/eks/main.go#L142

Will take a look this morning. I believe that the casting the result of 
GetOutput
to pulumi.StringArrayOutput is unsafe and can fail if the value is 
nil
.
I will give it a try locally, but it probably needs to use an apply that checks for nil values similar to what we do for string output conversion: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/blob/master/sdk/go/pulumi/stack_reference.go#L25-L33

@billowy-army-68599 I've tried your approach (switching the original array in my infrastructure stack to 
[]pulumi.IDOutput
, and then using your 
idOutputArrayToIDArrayOutput
function when exporting the array; in the stack reference defining it as a 
StringArrayOutput
). The problem is when I go to reference a specific element in the array, and Go reports that "it cannot index variable of type pulumi.StringArrayOutput".

ah, then you'll definitely need an apply
s
Got an example? The Pulumi "Programming Model" page that talks about Apply lacks examples for Go.

I'll send you something momentarily.
@salmon-account-74572 It's generally unsafe to handle stack references by trying to just wrap them with 
pulumi.***(...)
You'll need to write the appropriate apply functions. Here's an example of something I put together. First program exports a 
pulumi.StringArray
and the second one imports it, and manipulates it to get the first value.
Copy code
package main

import (
	"<http://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v2/go/pulumi|github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v2/go/pulumi>"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		ctx.Export("ref", pulumi.StringArray{
			pulumi.String("foo"),
			pulumi.String("bar"),
		})
		return nil
	})
}
Copy code
package main

import (
	"<http://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v2/go/pulumi|github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v2/go/pulumi>"
)

func main() {
	pulumi.Run(func(ctx *pulumi.Context) error {
		ref, err := pulumi.NewStackReference(ctx, "EvanBoyle/ref1/dev", nil)
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		strarr := ref.GetOutput(pulumi.String("ref")).ApplyStringArray(func(out interface{}) []string {
			var res []string
			if out != nil {
				for _, v := range out.([]interface{}) {
					res = append(res, v.(string))
				}
			}
			return res
		})

		idx0 := strarr.ApplyString(func(a []string) string {
			var res string
			if len(a) > 0 {
				res = a[0]
			}
			return res
		})
		ctx.Export("idx0", idx0)
		return nil
	})

}
This could be modified to handle IDs as well by changing 
ApplyStringArray
and 
ApplyString
to 
ApplyIDArray
and 
ApplyID
.

would be good to get that into the pulumi examples somehow, I opened this and will try take care of it: https://github.com/pulumi/examples/issues/748

@lemon-agent-27707 OK, I can understand what is happening with `ApplyStringArray`; we're basically iterating over the array from the stack reference. Two questions: 1. Why is 
strarr
still listed as type StringArrayOutput, seems like it should just be StringArray? 2. Should I not just be able to do 
strarr[0]
, why the need for the function to get out the indexed value?

1. Why is 
strarr
 still listed as type StringArrayOutput, seems like it should just be StringArray?
GetOutput
will always return an 
Output
, not a prompt value. Also 
Apply
and it's many forms will always return outputs.
2. Should I not just be able to do 
strarr[0]
, why the need for the function to get out the indexed value? 
The value that pulumi sees in the apply is of type 
[]interface{}
. So we must cast to the appropriate type. The reason for this is that 
GetOutput
is intended to be a generic method that supports all types. We should improve the experience here by offering common helpers for stackrefs like 
GetStringArrayOutput
and 
GetIDArrayOutput
