I am also trying to create a sqs policy by using the output of a resource but getting the following error. If I do the following the policy works fine:

"Principal": {{

"Service": "<http://s3.amazonaws.com|s3.amazonaws.com>"

}},

"Action": "sqs:SendMessage",

"Resource": "arn:aws:sqs:{get_aws_region_name()}:{get_aws_account_no()}:queue-3ca39a5"

}}

but if I try to use the arn output of a resource like so:

"Resource": "{queue.arn}"

I get the error: error:

aws:sqs/queuePolicy:QueuePolicy resource 'test' has a problem: "policy" contains an invalid JSON: invalid character '\n' in string literal. Examine values at 'QueuePolicy.Policy'.

This happens even if i cast the

queue.arn

into a

string

variable and use the

strip

function to remove any

\n

. IF there a way to pass the output or a resource (like the

arn

) into a policy without getting this error ?

You can't cast resource outputs to plain strings. See the docs at https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/inputs-outputs/#outputs-and-strings

thanks ... finally got my head around it I think
