Question

Also are outputs only available to the CLI using `pulumi stack output myOut` after deployment and the backend gets updated I e not simply by specifying a new line `export const myOut = outputs then o = gt o myOutput ` Adding this to my TS file alone results in an error with command above but is displayed with `pulumi preview` Hence new outputs won t be available to other stacks until I `pulumi` `up`

I confirmed this but is there a way to output with the command without having to deploy that code

No Stack outputs reflect what s in the Pulumi state not what s in the code If you have an output set to value 4 then `up` then set the value to 5 then the stack output is still 4 it is intentionally the deployed value

This is the model required by declarative deployment technologies Code expresses the intention not necessarily what is deployed State describes what Pulumi believes is deployed
