Describe the bug

In deploying Amplify API, amplify-social-room. on AWS console I get a build error:

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental

6

changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this

7

state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

8

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may

9

do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

10

git switch -c <new-branch-name>

11

Or undo this operation with:

12

git switch -

13

Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

14

HEAD is now at 85fa508 Update tsconfig.json

Reproduction steps

I upload the code from a github repo produced in visual studio code. My backend path C:\Users\Denise\Documents\amplify-social-room\amplify\backend\api\MyAppSyncAPI\build\schema.graphql only has one file schema.graphql

This is my backend-config.json file

{
"api": {}
}

There are no ts files. What am I missing?

[ykethan]

Hey @DeniseJames, just to ensure is this a Amplify Gen 1 application?
if yes, I would suggest switching the deploy command npx ampx pipeline-deploy --branch $AWS_BRANCH --app-id $AWS_APP_ID on the amplify.yml in the build setting or if present in your repository to amplifyPush --simple, as the deploy command is a Amplify Gen 2 command.

[DeniseJames]

@ykethan This is a Gen 2 application.

[ykethan]

Hey @DeniseJames, could you provide some information on how the application was setup?
as files such as schema.graphql and backend-config.json specific to Amplify Gen 1 which follows a different paradigm in creating your backend resources.

[DeniseJames]

I found the one syntax error by running this
npx tsc --noEmit --skipLibCheck --project amplify
