You should be able to use `pulumi.interpolate` for this use case

that still returns a `pulumi.Output&lt;string&gt;`

the type signature for the field is `string[]`

This is what I ended up doing during the upgrade to v2.
```const accountId = pulumi.output(aws.getCallerIdentity()).accountId;

accountId.apply(id =&gt; {
  do your stuff
}```

that could work, but i’m using this in a function that returns values and i’d really rather not make it all async like that

actually it might. let me chew on that for a while

yeah it doesn’t work, because i need to return a list of `aws.iam.Role` objects :confused:

Ah, I missed the other part where you are going to pass that further into another `get`

I think the easiest way is to promisify all the way through

One thing that can help here is modify your entrypoint to be async at the top level like shown here: <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/languages/javascript/#entrypoint>

Then you can write async/await throughout the rest of your code
