I'm trying to create an

awsx.ecs.FargateTaskDefinition

using secrets that contain

Output<string>

however the underlying type -

aws.ecs.Secret

has properties that are

string

only. example code below:

const secret = new aws.secretsmanager.Secret("my-secret", {});

const taskDefinition = new awsx.ecs.FargateTaskDefinition("my-task-definition", {
    executionRole: executionRole,
    logGroup: logGroup,
    container: {
        image: "my-image:latest",
        memory: 128,
        cpu: 512,
        portMappings: [{
            protocol: "tcp",
            containerPort: 8080,
        }],
        secrets: [
            { name: "MY_SECRET", valueFrom: secret.arn }
        ]
    }
});

this produces build errors since the

aws.ecs.Secret

type is defined as follows:

interface Secret {
    name: string;
    valueFrom: string;
}

and

valueFrom

expects a string and not an

Output<string>

which is returned from

secret.arn

how can i coerce the types to allow this to work?

I’ve used

// @ts-ignore

for cases like this.

Does that work? I would expect the usual exception about calling

.toString()

on an Output..

if I just force a typecast the template appears to work fine, which i didn't expect. I would expect some kind of issues at some point?
