I'm trying to get the cluster name for a Provider I'm using to provision resources with. I could export it from the other stack which makes the kluster from where I export the kubeconfig from which I made the Provider, but I feel I should be able to get it from the Provider and thus need 1 fewer export/import. https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/kubernetes/api-docs/provider/#cluster_nodejs clearly shows a cluster property as one of the inputs for the Provider function and further down the page it says: "All input properties are implicitly available as output properties." But when I do:

const monProvider = new k8s.Provider("monprov", {
        kubeconfig: kubeConfig,
});
pulumi.log.warn(`${monProvider.cluster}`);

I get

index.ts(184,32): error TS2339: Property 'cluster' does not exist on type 'Provider'.

what am I doing wrong?

inputs are indeed also outputs, but you’re not providing the cluster input property so it’s not available The provider is just a mechanism to know where the API is, you can’t derive the name from the provider unless you tell it what it is

ah ok, so it would only have that input to output if I'd provided it in the k8s.Provider call, gotcha, thanks 😄
