[request?] `amplify codegen` does not reflect updated schema from local copy about amplify-codegen HOT 19 CLOSED

The main reason for this is that the new schema is not compiled. A temporary solution is to run amplify api gql-compile after changing the schema and then it is all good to run amplify codegen. I will soon create a PR for graphql compiling check when running codegen.

from amplify-codegen.

Re-opening as we are reconsidering the implementation. As of now the current workaround when making schema changes, you can run amplify api gql-compile && amplify codegen.

Why in the name of all that is holy, do I need to use amplify api gql-compile && amplify codegen instead of just amplify codegen ffs

To take it one step further, why not: "amplify api gql-compile && amplify codegen && amplify codegen models" instead of just "amplify codegen". Also, this workaround should probably be entered in the docs somewhere.

from amplify-codegen.

A little update:
I deleted my .graphqlconfig.yml and did amplify codegen add, it generated a new .graphqlconfig.yml with the following content:

projects:
  amplifyreact1:
    schemaPath: amplify/backend/api/amplifyreact1/build/schema.graphql
    includes:
      - src/graphql/**/*.js
    excludes:
      - ./amplify/**
    extensions:
      amplify:
        codeGenTarget: javascript
        generatedFileName: ''
        docsFilePath: src/graphql
        region: ap-southeast-1
        apiId: null
        maxDepth: 2
extensions:
  amplify:
    version: 3

Noticed that schemaPath changed and inclusions of several new settings.

Afterwards, I ran amplify api gql-compile && amplify codegen, it now works as expected.
Is there a reason as to why this had happened?

Is there a fix or some workaround for this? I'm still facing this issue.

The workaround is to re-compile your updated schema as mentioned here: #113 (comment)

Three and a half YEARS later and the behavior is still not like the docs...

At least the mentioned workaround does the trick sometimes.

from amplify-codegen.

If I run the indicated commands, it still doesn't seem to update the generated code in src/graphql although the compile step does seem to know about the changes - just codegen doesn't do anything as far as I can tell.

@SwaySway Hi Josue. Any progress on this subject, as with latest version of Amplify (namely 4.41.0), nothing is generated/updated in src/graphql folder (i.e mutations, queries, ...) when entering amplify api gql-compile && amplify codegen. Thanks and Happy New Year !

Could you provide your .graphqlconfig.yml and the schema? If the schema contains sensitive information you can send it to our email [email protected]

from amplify-codegen.

I have exactly the same issue. I'm using codegen for months, and suddenly today it's not generating the code even if it's saying it's doing it :

And the Schema is well updated :

This is the graphql code I added to the API :

type NewsLetterSubscribers @model @auth(rules: [
  {allow: private, operations: [create]}
  {allow: public, operations: [create], provider: iam}
  {allow: public, operations: [read, update, create], provider: apiKey}
  ]) {
    id: ID!
    subscribed: Boolean!
    email: String!
    dateUnsubscribed: AWSDateTime
    reasonUnsubscribed: String
}

I have CLI version 4.44.0 on macOS

from amplify-codegen.

I made some tries with the mock, creating news tables, and looking at the same time what is happening in the mutation.js file.

It happens that at some point during the code génération the code of the new tables is created, but it's removed right away, I don't know why.

At this point the new code is created :

And at this point its removed :

This is all the things I have in my console :

So first line creates the code, and the second indentical line removes it. I don't know what to understand from that. It seems that an instance of the API is stucked in the codegen system, so the codegen does its work properly, and then the old instance does its work as well, so the code generated at the end is related to the API before the bug appeared.

But apparently removing the .graphqlconfig.yml file solves the pb. Thanks to aws-amplify/amplify-cli#50 (comment)

Btw removing, or reinstalling codegen didn't change anything

This workaround you proposed does not seems to work.
src/graphql doesnt get updated after running the command you suggested, however schema.json is. Tested on 4.44.0

.graphqlconfig.yml

projects:
  amplifyreact1:
    schemaPath: src/graphql/schema.json
    includes:
      - src/graphql/**/*.js
    excludes:
      - ./amplify/**
    extensions:
      amplify:
        codeGenTarget: javascript
        generatedFileName: ''
        docsFilePath: src/graphql
        maxDepth: 2
extensions:
  amplify:
    version: 3

schema tested:

type Todo @model {
  id: ID!
  name: String!
  description: String
  test6: String <--- change this field name
}

Hi All, Thanks for keeping this updated and re-raising 🙌🏻 .

The team is looking into this now to determine the best path forward, and will update this as soon as there is more information.

Just an fyi - this will be transferred over to the amplify-codegen repo for better tracking (once permissions are set).

Thanks again!

After doing all those latest answer with new scripts, the model which are renamed in the cloud didn't get synced to the local JS files. All models created are synced but the existing models renamed are not replaced.
