Information about the resources of a specific mobile hub project is considered secret, so they are put in the .gitignore file, and not checked in code repo.
After you clone a project to a new environment, please run
awsmobile init <mobile-hub-project-id>
to link to your backend mobile hub project.
Thanks for the info. awsmobile init <mobile-hub-project-id>
is what I was looking for.
For others stuck on this same issue, the mobile hub project id can be found in the url when you go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/mobilehub and open the project in question. From AWS Amplify Docs:
You can find your Mobile Hub project id in the page URL of the project details page on the AWS Mobile Hub console. The URL looks like https://console.aws.amazon.com/mobilehub/home?region=us-east-1#/xxx-yyy-zzz-aaa-xxx/build and your project id is included in the URL, e.g: xxx-yyy-zzz-aaa-xxx.
@thelinuxkid I think this should be re-opened and the documentation updated.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-mobile/latest/developerguide/mobile-hub-web-getting-started.html
"The init command creates a backend project for your app. By default, analytics and web hosting are enabled in your backend and this configuration is automatically pulled into your app when you initialize."
should read
"The init command creates a backend project for your app. By default, analytics and web hosting are enabled in your backend and this configuration is automatically pulled into your app when you initialize.
Init is also used to connect your source code to an existing awsmobile backend project and should be used in development."
And the details of how to get the ID from the URL as previously mentioned.
Ideally, I think an additional page of documentation about the developer workflow should be created.

Bug
What is the current behavior?
awsmobilejs/.awsmobile/info/project-info.json
is needed for anawsmobile pull
. But, the repo created byawsmobile start my-project react
has a.gitignore
file that leaves this file out of the repo. So, when it's cloned theawsmobile pull
fails.If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem. Your bug will get fixed much faster if we can run your code and it doesn't have dependencies other than AWS Amplify.
awsmobile start my-project react
npm install
awsmobile run
npm install
awsmobile pull
Solution: Including
!awsmobilejs/.awsmobile/info/project-info.json
, i.e., leaving it out of.gitignore
, in the cloned repository fixes the issue.What is the expected behavior?
awsmobile pull
should synchronize the current projectWhich versions of Amplify, and which browser / OS are affected by this issue? Did this work in previous versions?
OSX AFAIK
You can turn on the debug mode to provide more info for us by setting
window.LOG_LEVEL = 'DEBUG';
in your app.
