Question

Hi everyone I ve been pulling my hair out trying to make the outputs of my stack work I want to get each network security rule by name and then output it Here is what I have right now This deploys resources perfectly however the outputs `consulRule` and `sshRule` are incorrect All the rule outputs have the same property values As you can see in the Gist all rules outputs are identical It looks like these 3 rules outputs are all referencing the same object the first rule Could anyone give me any pointers on what I m doing wrong here Thank you

What is the type of `nsg rules` here

white-balloon-205 · Answer

Does this work ``` function getRuleByName name string return pulumi all nsg rules map r = gt r rule name apply ruleNames = gt return ruleNames find ruleName = gt name === ruleName ```

rapid-ram-37207 · Answer

`nsg rules` is of type `NetworkSecurityRule ` `NetworkSecurityRule` being a custom ComponentResource and has a `rule` property of type `azure network NetworkSecurityRule`

rapid-ram-37207 · Answer

Thank you for your help < white balloon 205> This only outputs the name of the rules instead of the rules object

I m still stuck on this <https pulumi community slack com archives CJ909TL6P p1572375960100600> Anybody has any suggestion please

Why do you try to convert to promise

tall-librarian-49374 · Answer

You should export Outputs directly potentially changed with `apply` and `all`

tall-librarian-49374 · Answer

So something like Luke suggested but without mapping to name first

rapid-ram-37207 · Answer

Thanks for your help < tall librarian 49374> The `Promise ` is just to unwrap the underlying object from the output as explained in this article As per your suggestion i modified `getRuleByName` like so ``` function getRuleByName name string return pulumi all nsg rules apply r = gt return r find r = gt r rule name === name ``` But then I get the error `Property apply does not exist on type NetworkSecurityRule ` `NetworkSecurityRule` is a custom ComponentResource which contains an `azure network NetworkSecurityRule `

tall-librarian-49374 · Answer

Should be `return pulumi all nsg rules apply r = gt `

rapid-ram-37207 · Answer

Thanks < tall librarian 49374> So this ```function getRuleByName name string return pulumi all nsg rules apply r => return r find r => r rule name === name ``` Results in the following error for the test in the find method `This condition will always return false since the types Output and string have no overlap`

rapid-ram-37207 · Answer

And this might work ```function getRuleByName name string return pulumi all nsg rules apply r = gt return r find r = gt r rule name get === name ``` But it result in the following error ```Error Cannot call get during update or preview To manipulate the value of this Output use apply instead ```

tall-librarian-49374 · Answer

Sorry for many false hints Now I finally opened an editor and this seems to fit your use case ``` function getRuleByName name string return pulumi all nsg rules map r = gt r name apply names = gt const index = names indexOf name return index gt = 0 nsg rules index undefined ```

rapid-ram-37207 · Answer

< tall librarian 49374> Wow that is some ugly and convoluted code but it works I remember seeing a Github issue related to making outputs easier to deal with but I cannot find it I think that outputs should be simpler to use A common use case is testing importing the outputs into the tests suite and running assertions against them should be much simpler than it is now Anyway thanks a lot for your help

That s a valid but a challenging goal I m glad you are unblocked for now
