Repository as dependency doesn't affect changes

Question

My nextjs front-end app on AWS has a back-end dependency in package.json linked it in this way: "api-client": "git+https://username:password@bitbucket.org/username/api_client_dev.git" .

When I update my backend repository with changes, locally (npm run dev) everything works, but the app on AWS (with Amplify), when building recognizes an error type about a variable referring to something I haven't done yet. My front-end doesn't recognize the updated repository. If I check my repo on bitbucket is updated. No problems with branches.

I don't understand why. Any suggestion? Thank you

The problem was in amplify.yml

Adding the script npm update on pre-build, force amplify to refresh cached dependencies on node_modules, my dependency included.
