I noticed that when trying to use

ctx.Export

inside of an

.ApplyT

function, the export doesn't happen. Is this the expected behavior? Here's a code example:

aksVNet.ID().ToStringOutput().ApplyT(func(id string) error {
	applicationAKSSubnetID := fmt.Sprintf("%s/subnets/Application", id)

	var clusterInput *aks.ClusterInput
	if err := cfg.TryObject(appAKSClusterConfigKey, &clusterInput); err != nil {
		return err
	}

	cluster, err = aks.CreateAKSCluster(ctx,
		clusterInput,
		applicationAKSSubnetID,
		commonTags)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	
	ctx.Export("clusterName", cluster.Name)

	return nil
})

In general you should avoid creating resources and exports in apply

I do try to avoid it but there are times when I need a string value of a

pulumi.StringOutput

that I haven't found another way to access without

.ApplyT

Which provider are you using?

Exporting values from within apply is not supported and will not work.

Sorry for the slow reply. I was able to get back to this today and ended up refactoring some functions to use

pulumi.StringInput

as a parameter instead of

String

I was able to avoid using

ApplyT

after making that switch. Thanks for the guidance on this
