Hi everybody, I'm new to Pulumi, and I'm using C#. Is there a straightforward way to get a value from an

Output<string>

? I tried to do an assignment in the

Apply

method, but even though the resource has been provisioned, it doesn't seem to execute:

var env = new CCloud.Environment(envName, args);
string envId = "Not set";
env.Id.Apply(v => envId = $"env-id = {v}");
File.WriteAllText(@"env-id.txt", envId);

File contains "Not set".

Is there some sort of

Wait

that I need to wrap the

Apply

call in?

@late-ability-31616 you need to do the

File.WriteAllText

inside the

Apply

so that the value has resolved

@billowy-army-68599 Thank you! I tried that but couldn't get it to compile, because File.WriteAllText doesn't return a string:

you can change the

Apply

to return a string, but still do some stuff inside the apply, right?

I could do something like this:

env.Id.Apply(v => { File.WriteAllText(@"env-id.txt", $"env-id = {v}"); return string.Empty; });

yup

ah okay
