cdktf & Language Versions

cdktf: 0.1.0
@cdktf/provider-azurerm: 0.0.91

Affected Resource(s)

CosmosdbAccount from @cdktf/provider-azurerm

Expected Behavior

Referencing cosmosDbAccount.connectionStrings[0], e.g. as a terraform output, should yield the actual reference (i.e. in HCL: "${azurerm_cosmosdb_account.cosmosdb_account.connection_strings[0]}").

Actual Behavior

It actually yields "#{Token[TOKEN.0]}"

Important Factoids

I'm pretty sure that this is closely related to #434 (and thus probably also #435), but I didn't want to hijack any of those for my question. I'm not very familiar with CDKTF yet, but from what I've read, I was expecting that getListAttribute was implemented for that exact purpose, but it doesn't seem to work here. Is this a bug or did I just miss something? And if not, is there a workaround for that?

is there a workaround for that?

Okay, I think I can answer this myself: all necessary parts of the connection string are provided as well, so I can construct it manually:

connectionString = `AccountEndpoint=${cosmosDbAccount.endpoint};AccountKey=${cosmosDbAccount.primaryKey};`;

Still, I would be interested in the details. Thanks!

Seems most closely related to #374.

I believe this is caused by the token resolution system seeing a string (since just accessing a single element) rather than the list and as such tries (and fails) to resolve as a string.
