Unable to access outputs of other templates

I have a deployment manager script as follows: cluster.py creates a kubernetes cluster and when the script was run only for the k8 cluster creation, it was successful – so it means the cluster.py had no issues in creation of a k8 cluster

cluster.py also exposes ouputs: A small snippet of the cluster.py is as follows:

outputs.append({
        	'name': 'v1endpoint' ,
        	'value': type_name + type_suffix })
    
return {'resources': resources, 'outputs': outputs}

If I try to access the exposed output inside dmnginxservice resource below as $(ref.dmcluster.v1endpoint) I get an error as resource not found

imports:
- path: cluster.py 
- path: nodeport.py

resources:
- name: dmcluster
  type: cluster.py
  properties:
   zone: us-central1-a
      
- name: dmnginxservice
  type: nodeport.py
  properties:
   cluster: $(ref.dmcluster.v1endpoint)
   image: gcr.io/pr1/nginx:latest
   port: 342
   nodeport: 32123

Hi @VarunkumarManohar,

I’m working on reproducing using your gists. I’ll try to get back to you by the end of the day.

At first glance, it doesn’t look like your template is making any obvious mistakes.

Thanks,

Kyle
