create_app_role is a function i created within the ___main___.py._

esa.create_app_role(example.endpoint.apply(lambda endpoint: f"{endpoint}"),admin_username,admin_password,app_role_payload,role_name)

_The create_app_role function takes the following inputs._ endpoint - the endpoint is only available after the previous resource is deployed. _admin_username - username to log into the endpoint_ _admin_password - admin password_ _app_role_payload - a dictionary / REST payload_ _role_name - name of the role to create_ The basics of what I'm trying to do is. 1. deploy aws opensearch 2. call the opensearch internal API to create roles and users after it is deployed. endpoint needs to be a str, but it is a Output<str>. How can I get it to be a str? Or is there a better approach ?

TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "Output") to str

can you paste the

create_app_role

body?

@prehistoric-activity-61023 Here is the body:

def create_app_role(host,admin_username,admin_password,payload,role_name):
    #logging.basicConfig(filename='example.log', encoding='utf-8', level=logging.DEBUG)
    #logging.debug('This message should go to the log file')
    url = 'https://' + host + '/_plugins/_security/api/roles/' + role_name
    basic_creds = admin_username + ':' + admin_password
    base64_bytes = base64.standard_b64encode(basic_creds.encode('utf-8'))
    base64_message = base64_bytes.decode('utf-8')

    headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Basic ' + base64_message
    }
    http = urllib3.PoolManager()
    resp = http.request(
        "GET",
        url,
        headers=headers
    )
    #print(resp)
    if resp.status == 404:
        print('404 Role not found')
        #logging.debug('404 Role not found')
        print('Adding custom role')
        app_role_payload_bytes = json.dumps(payload).encode('ascii')
        resp = http.request(
            "PUT",
            url,
            body=app_role_payload_bytes,
            headers=headers
        )
    else:
        print('Role exists ')

well, if you accept

Input[str]

instead of

str

, you could do:

url = pulumi.Output.concat('https://', host, '/_plugins/_security/api/roles/', role_name)

within that function

As I mentioned I am very new to pulumi, and the code was never meant to be declarative. It was simply code I'm using to understand Input / Output in pulumi. Test/POC code. The Dynamic Provider looks to be what I need. It even mentions calling REST apis. I will investigate.

Oh, I see. That changes a lot 🙂.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
