Hey @wrlakshan 👋 thanks for raising this! Lambda layer changes can be tricky with changing state on amplify status, where unlike the other resource categories the version of the layer is increased when you checkout the environment. If you run amplify env checkout <current-env-name> it should increase the version and allow you to push the changes

Hey @josefaidt
👋 thanks for answering this!
I tried this solution but not working. In my case, I am currently working in a sandbox. In the sandbox, I update the dependencies in the lambda layer. When I push it the amplify doesn't recognize those dependency changes.

Hey @wrlakshan thanks for clarifying! After updating a dependency in the layer can you run amplify env checkout <current-env-name> before attempting to push to see if that triggers an update?

Hi @josefaidt

I attempted to execute the command amplify env checkout prior to the push operation. However, it didn’t seem to make any difference.

Hey @wrlakshan, the issue appears to be similar to bug on #10371
Could you try making a empty change on the package.json(Ex: nodejs) in the layer then run amplify status. Do let us know if the layer does show a update status.
As a workaround, you can try running amplify push --force to push the project.

Hey @ykethan, I try this but it does not work.

Possible workaround:
modifying the parameters.json description attributes does seem to invoke a update status. But did notice this modified the description parameter from a reference to a value in the generated CloudFormation template.

from:

"Description": {
          "Ref": "description"
        },

to:

 "Description": "Updated layer version 2023-11-08T18:46:47.625Z",

I'm using the latest version of amplify CLI 12.8.2 , and my parameters.json looks like this:

and when I installed a new package and ran the command amplify status, however, still unable to detect the change 🤔
So instead, what I did was creating a new layer and deleting the previous one although it's not decent.

Closing due to inactivity and in favor of tracking #10371

Amplify is looking in package.json recursively for changes, and will consider the layer for an update if one of the package.json file was modified. I suggest to try adding text into the package.json description and see if amplify status displays the layer.
