amplify status failure during during aws serverless web app workshop

[jeremymtx]

How did you install the Amplify CLI?

npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli

If applicable, what version of Node.js are you using?

18.8.1

Amplify CLI Version

12.7.0

What operating system are you using?

Windows

Did you make any manual changes to the cloud resources managed by Amplify? Please describe the changes made.

I made some GraphQL permissions changes to the small web app that I'm following along with in a AWS workshop (doing it independently). The changes were for using Amazon Cognito User Pool. After the changes were made, then ran the following:

amplify push --y (which ran successfully)
amplify status (which gives me an unknown error and creating a report)

Describe the bug

Expected behavior

Rather than myeventplanner in the names, it would have been jpmeventplanner

Odd. About 15 minutes later, it appears to be working now:

Hey @jeremymtx, the issue appears to be similar to #12863
From the issue moving the project from the OneDrive directory mitigates the issue.
could you try moving the project out of the OneDrive directory and re-run the commands? we can run amplify pull --appId <appId> --envName <envName> in a new directory outside OneDrive to pull the backend and test this.

[jeremymtx]

Hmm...I'm hesitant to do that at the moment for fear of breaking something. I'd like to finish the app first which shouldn't take more than another couple of days. As mentioned, the command worked after about 10-15 minutes and still works. We can close this issue for now, and if I run into it again, I'll re-open it (if that's possible) after trying a move off of OneDrive.

[ykethan]

@jeremymtx I understand, the amplify pull command should just pull your backend resource and should not modify your resources. But if you do run into issues with the amplify pull in a new directory, please do not hesitate in reaching out. Closing the issue for now.
