Is this the fixed solution The first snippet would already return `account id` but this version looks better Is it doing what you want now

Hey < little cartoon 10569> yes it is doing what I want it to do

However the return type at this point will only ever be `pulumi Output lt string gt `

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Yes that s correct Since the return value is based on an async value account name it will never be possible to make the return value available synchronously

Asides 1 There isn t a need to use `pulumi Input lt string gt | pulumi Output lt string gt ` since `pulumi Input lt string gt ` is defined to be `string | pulumi Output lt string gt | Promise lt string gt ` 2 Is there a need to define an anonymous function to get this value In most cases you should be able to use `const iamId = account name apply name = gt name includes iam account id pulumi output args iamAccountId `
