Issue details

Errors out while creating the cert-manager resource with Pulumi output value as args:

error: Error: failed to register new resource cert-manager [kubernetes-cert-manager:index:CertManager]: 2 UNKNOWN: setting args: copying input "helmOptions": provider.CertManagerArgs.HelmOptions is typed as *helm.ReleaseType but must be a type that implements pulumi.Input or pulumi.Output for input with dependencies

Steps to reproduce

Creating the cert-manager resource using the below code:

const certManager = new certmanager.CertManager("cert-manager", {
      installCRDs: true,
      helmOptions: {
        namespace: certManagerNamespaceName,
        values: {
          serviceAccount: {
            annotations: {
              'eks.amazonaws.com/role-arn': certManagerRole.arn,
            }
          },
          securityContext: {
            fsGroup: 1001
          },
        }
      },
    }, { provider: k8sProvider })

Errors out due to the Pulumi output value certManagerRole.arn.

Also tried using serviceAccount and secuirtyContext args directly rather than inside helmOptions.values, but same error for all args.

Expected:
Ideally, should be able to create the resource with arg values of Pulumi outputs.

Actual:
Error creating resource

This is not fixed - still getting this error when I use a pulumi output value as input:

error: Error: failed to register new resource cert-manager [kubernetes-cert-manager:index:CertManager]: 2 UNKNOWN: setting args: copying input "serviceAccount": provider.CertManagerArgs.ServiceAccount is typed as *provider.CertManagerServiceAccount but must be a type that implements pulumi.Input or pulumi.Output for input with dependencies

Works fine when hardcoding a string value.

Any update on this?

Same issue :-)

Works fine when hardcoding a string value.

Confirming this workaround.

Though, I'd rather use the dynamically generated namespace name by Pulumi rather than a static name, so a fix here would be nice.

Seems like the issue was resolved, we simply need a new release of this provider to effectively use it.
