I think that I can answer this, though the answer for the

endpoint

bit isn’t particularly satisfying.

The constructor for the

pulumi.Resource

superclass needs to see all potential properties in the

props

bag, not just input properties. If the names of the output properties are not present in that bag, the

Resource

machinery can’t determine which output properties to expect.

So I think that if you change your code to this, things should work as you expect:

Copy code

class Cluster extends pulumi.dynamic.Resource {
    public readonly endpoint!: pulumi.Output<string>;

    constructor(
        name: string,
        props: IClusterInputs,
        opts?: pulumi.CustomResourceOptions,
    ) {
        super(new ClusterProvider(), name, { endpoint: undefined, ...props }, opts);
    }
}

The reason

pulumi.output(cluster.endpoint)

changed things is that it turned an

undefined

value into a resolved (but defined!)

pulumi.Output

value whose inner value is

undefined

w.r.t. `id`: you didn’t have to do anything special there because

id

is always defined by the SDK.

Oh, yeah I think you're right. Why do we have to "initialize"

endpoint

like that in the dynamic resource constructor?

I think that it’s because without that initialization, it’s not possible for the constructor to know what the set of output properties is for the resource. IIRC there are problems with attempting to iterate over the properties defined on

this

(e.g. properties that are present on every object shouldn’t be considered output properties), but my JS/TS expertise may be failing me here (cc @microscopic-pilot-97530).

Got it, that makes sense. Thanks.
