You d have to hit the cloudflare api directly not via pulumi We ve looked at adding some sort of general query support for resources to each provider but not something we support yet

creamy-monkey-35142 · Answer

so is possible to get id from `output` I m thinking 2 way to do it use id from output or Pulumi state file create our own id list while running Pulumi with ``` accessGroup = cloudflare AccessGroup v return id = accessGroup id apply lambda a print f a print return id ``` and result is ``` 11f9b35b 9174 4df8 ab2a redacted d1478109 50f2 4aed b375 redacted ec03461c 158e 49a1 b318 redacted``` but I don t know how to assign it as variable tried with ```return id = accessGroup id apply lambda a a ``` but it return ```Calling str on an Output T is not supported To get the value of an Output T as an Output str consider 1 o apply lambda v f prefix v suffix See <https pulumi io help outputs> for more details This function may throw in a future version of Pulumi ```

ohhh

echoing-dinner-19531 · Answer

I mean just use the accessGroup id in that case it s an Output lt string gt but you can use that in most other resource constructors and if you need the raw value you can use it inside the apply

echoing-dinner-19531 · Answer

I thought you were asking about how to import an access group by name that pulumi didn t already know about

creamy-monkey-35142 · Answer

Hi there I ve tried with ``` accessGroup = cloudflare AccessGroup v print accessGroup id pulumi export group id accessGroup id ``` and result is ``` Calling str on an Output T is not supported To get the value of an Output T as an Output str consider 1 o apply lambda v f prefix v suffix See <https pulumi io help outputs> for more details This function may throw in a future version of Pulumi Outputs + group id 5d624102 5a12 4ac4 a3ea db0ec95df84a ```

creamy-monkey-35142 · Answer

the context is I create access group from a python function and when user define access policy with group name then I ll get group `id` from group name it ll help user can define policy without find somewhere for group id

creamy-monkey-35142 · Answer

I was use 2 other function as a trick in this case ``` def set grous output self key value self groups output key = value def get groups output self key if key in self groups output return self groups output key else return None``` it ll define group with name amp id and id at this time is in memory like ``` lt pulumi output Output object at 0x103e68130 gt ``` and input resource before create Access Policy will be ```Diagnostics pulumi pulumi Stack pulum redacted application id lt pulumi output Output object at 0x10a0c8dc0 gt account id redacted resource name bypass name bypass decision bypass precedence 1 includes lt pulumi cloudflare inputs AccessPolicyIncludeArgs object at 0x10a0a7af0 gt ```

creamy-monkey-35142 · Answer

but it like a trick because I need to run `cloudflare AccessGroup` first to have list what I expected is I can get group `id` from state file or somewhere official than write our own function

echoing-dinner-19531 · Answer

I mean you could go look in the state file `pulumi stack export` it s just JSON should be pretty easy to understand But you ve got the id its just wrapped in an output but you can save that from inside the apply Note that it has to be an output because your program runs at preview time and at preview time when creating a new AccessGroup there is no id You have to handle that case Output lt T gt handles it for you by just not running apply when the value isn t actually available

creamy-monkey-35142 · Answer

so is there anyway to get `pulumi stack export` result in python code should I do it with pulumi `automation` and hope you can share me an example

echoing-dinner-19531 · Answer

There s an `export stack` function on the workspace type in the python automation api That gives you back an object with a `deployment Optional Mapping str Any ` field If you look through that mapping the id info would be in there somewhere But again you have the id in your program you just need to access it within the Apply block
