Question

Can anyone provide information on how to use a stack reference with C and Azure As an example I have one project that is creating a Log Analytics Workspace Pulumi AzureNative OperationalInsights Workspace that I need to reference from additional projects I have tried outputting the workspace object using ``` Output public Output lt Pulumi AzureNative OperationalInsights Workspace gt LogAnalyticsWorkspace get set ``` That seems to go out OK with the results something like ```Outputs + LogAnalyticsWorkspace + URN urn pulumi lt stackname gt lt projectname gt azure native resources ResourceGroup$azure native operationalinsights Workspace lt workspacename gt + ID subscriptions lt subscriptionid gt resourcegroups lt resourcegroupname gt providers microsoft operationalinsights workspaces lt workspacename gt + PackageVersion ``` However when I try create a stack reference in the second project with the following code I get an error ```var coreStackReference = new StackReference coreStackReference new StackReferenceArgs Name = lt stackname gt ``` The error is ```invocation of pulumi pulumi getResource returned an error unknown resource urn pulumi lt stackname gt lt projectname gt azure native resources ResourceGroup$azure native operationalinsights Workspace lt workspacename gt ``` Is it incorrect to try and pass objects in this way I don t seem to get the errors when just passing strings so do I need to just pass IDs rather than objects and then rehydrate them somehow

```var other = new StackReference lt stackname gt var otherOutput = other GetOutput x ```

Thanks < brave planet 10645> I am still getting the same error using the above syntax though In the top level project I am creating my workspace and storing it in a variable called workspace type Pulumi AzureNative OperationalInsights Workspace In order to pass this to ``` Output public Output lt Pulumi AzureNative OperationalInsights Workspace gt LogAnalyticsWorkspace get set ``` I am using ```this LogAnalyticsWorkspace = Pulumi Output Create workspace ``` Does that look correct

I think that s because you re passing a resource between stacks You can t do that I suggest passing the name of the resource and then using the `GetWorkspace` method in the second project to get the values you need <https www pulumi com docs reference pkg azure native operationalinsights getworkspace >

OK thanks

< brave planet 10645> OK I think I m making progress I can pass across the names happily now I am passing the resourceGroupName and the workspaceName as the getWorkspace function seems to need both They get read into the second project as types Output lt string gt so I can t pass them to getWorkspace directly as it only accepts strings I can work around this with some ugly code like ```var ws = Pulumi Output Tuple resourceGroupName workspaceName Apply names = gt return Pulumi AzureNative OperationalInsights GetWorkspace InvokeAsync new Pulumi AzureNative OperationalInsights GetWorkspaceArgs ResourceGroupName = names Item1 WorkspaceName = names Item2 ``` Am I overcomplicating things with the above or is that the only way That still only returns me an Output lt GetWorkspaceResult gt so I assume I would then need to use something like Pulumi AzureNative OperationalInsights Workspace Get to get at the actual workspace If so then I guess I can just pass IDs between projects and skip the getWorkspace piece altogether and just use Workspace Get Am I missing something or does that look like the basic process

if you just need the IDs just have the IDs as outputs
