AWS Amplify branch is missing functions

Question

We're using a few Git code branches to manage the Amplify lifecycle ( dev , qa , pre-prod , main ) and have a working application on the dev branch. I can amplify push and it all works OK for dev.

There are 5 Java lambda functions in the codebase as well as their associated API Gateway endpoints.

I have git merged the codebase from dev to qa which seemed to go OK, but when I try and amplify push it only knows about one of the lambda functions; it doesn't even seem to want to push the other 4 lambda functions.

I have looked through and compared as many Amplify config json files in the project as I can see on the qa branch and can see references to all the missing lambda functions as well as see them referred to in the api gateway config folder.

I was trying to follow this: https://docs.amplify.aws/cli/teams/overview/

The process I followed was:

git checkout qa
amplify env checkout qa
git merge dev
amplify push

and it shows just one lambda function will be updated not all 5.

If I do an amplify pull then it deletes all the function code that is local (which I clearly don't want!)

My amplify/backend/backend-config.json contains an entry for each of the functions, as does the file amplify/backend/api/tcsogatewayapi/cli-inputs.json

If I do a amplify function update it only shows the one function - where does it look for the list of functions it knows about?

Anyone know how I can resolve this?

Answer 1

OK, so I tried a few things and this seemed to work; it was the amplify init that seemed to re-add all of the missing functions

git checkout qa
amplify env checkout qa
amplify pull
git merge dev
amplify init
amplify build
amplify push
