If you are not passing it to another Pulumi resources use apply and put your code inside the callback that apply generates Example in Typescript ```valueAsOutput apply value = gt console log `The value is $ value ` ```

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

If you are passing it to another Pulumi resource don t worry about it Pulumi resources can use outputs just fine even though the docs say string

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

If you are passing it to another Pulumi resource but need to change it a bit use apply but pass the returned value to the resource Example in Typescript ```const newResource = new provider NewResource example value oldResource apply old = gt `Value for new resource is $ old ` ```

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

There s a shortcut for strings ```const newResource = new provider NewResource example value pulumi interpolate`Value for new resource is $ oldResource ` ```

mysterious-hamburger-19066 · Answer

calling apply on an Output only returns another Output in python Is the behavior different in typescript

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

No This is correct

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

You need to put your code that uses the value inside the apply Not at the top level

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

The only things that can access the value in an output are Pulumi resource constructors and `apply `

echoing-dinner-19531 · Answer

Note that during preview the value of Outputs might not exist if for example it s the output from a resource not yet created In those cases a value on Output would either have to throw an error or return some undefined value There s also the risk that once you ve got a plain value the SDK loses all tracking of dependencies and secretness that Output can track Both of these combined led to the decision that it was a better UX to just not give a method to get the value out and ensure users kept things wrapped in Outputs

ok let me try this I will let you know if I have any issues

witty-vegetable-61961 · Answer

Ok so picking this up again this is the code var clientId = clientApp ClientId Apply x = gt secret == x Would this be correct to gt the client id as an output variable

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

No That will create a new Output lt boolean gt `clientApp ClientId` is the output you want you don t need to apply to use it

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

You do need to apply to get at the string value inside it if that s what you need to do What do you want to do with the ClientId Do you want to pass it to another Pulumi resource

Hi

witty-vegetable-61961 · Answer

I will be passing this to a console app which will persist it to Octopus Deploy

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Then you will need to run that console app from inside the apply

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Pseudocode `clientApp ClientId Apply id = gt consoleApp exec id `

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Note that this will run every time `pulumi up` is run This might not be what you want

witty-vegetable-61961 · Answer

Ah I see Is there a way I can build a collection of the values I need and call the console app once

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Yes There s a function `All ` that does this Which language are you using

witty-vegetable-61961 · Answer

c

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

I can t find the C equivalent of pulumi all I m sure there s something though thinking face

witty-vegetable-61961 · Answer

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

echoing-dinner-19531 · Answer

gt I will be passing this to a console app which will persist it to Octopus Deploy You might want to give the pulumi command package a try for that <https www pulumi com registry packages command >

witty-vegetable-61961 · Answer

Ok so I have this code var clientId = clientApp ClientId Apply lt string gt x = gt MyStack Test where Test is a method that can invoke the console app Using all that takes a paramas array and then I can pass that into a method to do whatever I need with the values I will try the first approach and I can use the command library too Thanks guys
