Hi.. I am trying to run a piece of code to create a group when account id of aws is xxx and i get an error on my ci saying

infra/groups.ts(6,14): error TS2322: Type 'Promise<string>' is not assignable to type 'string'.

here is the code

const current = aws.getCallerIdentity({});
export const accountId: string = current.then(current => current.accountId);

if (accountId == "xxx") { 

const devops = new aws.iam.Group("devops", {
    name: "devops-users",
    path: "/",
});

}

Like the error message says,

accountId

is a

Promise<string>

so you can't so a comparison with a

string

in your

if

. You'll need to do this comparison in a context where the promise is unwrapped, either within a

.then

or after the variable is `await`ed

Often the best thing to do is to avoid this sort of issue. For example, perhaps you can infer whether or not to create the group from the stack instead of from the caller identity?

pulumi.getStack()

returns a simple string.
