Expose stack outputs to sst shell
chrisandrewcl opened this issue · comments
Currently, it seems only linked resources are injected in the env when running sst shell but stack outputs are also very useful in this context.
Is there any supported way to access them when running scripts?
* I am currently working around it by using a dummy linkable component that exports the stack outputs in its link properties, but it would be nice to have it baked in ion.
So any resource gets adding to the shell. It doesn't need to be linked but we have a feature coming soon that'll let you create a resource out of any output and that'll be exposed in the sst shell as well.
The upcoming feature you mentioned sounds like it will do the trick!
* Also, what I meant to say was "only linkable resources are currenlty added to the env" 🤦
this is released but not documented yet - you can do
new sst.Resource("MyResource", { any: "thing", foo: other.thing } )
and it will show up in sst shell
it's linkable too
