Description

To reproduce:

pnpx create-turbo@latest
# ? Where would you like to create your Turborepo? ./example
# ? Which package manager do you want to use? pnpm

cd example/apps/web
pnpm create amplify@latest
#? Where should we create your project? .

pnpm run build

You will get:

./amplify/auth/resource.ts:7:14
Type error: The inferred type of 'auth' cannot be named without a reference to '.pnpm/@aws-amplify+backend-auth@1.1.0_@aws-sdk+types@3.609.0_aws-cdk-lib@2.149.0_constructs@10.3.0__swdgfxo5jm6atwmthef7zzd4ly/node_modules/@aws-amplify/backend-auth'. This is likely not portable. A type annotation is necessary.

     |              ^

You can "fix" this with export const auth: ReturnType<typeof defineAuth> = defineAuth({, and then you will end up with

./amplify/data/resource.ts:9:7
Type error: The inferred type of 'schema' cannot be named without a reference to '../../../../node_modules/.pnpm/@aws-amplify+data-schema@1.3.7/node_modules/@aws-amplify/data-schema/dist/esm/Authorization'. This is likely not portable. A type annotation is necessary.

Hey @Gsciarra, thank you for reaching out. I was able to reproduce the issue, marking as bug.

I ran into this issue as well. I would like to add type annotation to the schema const, but I can't figure out which type definition to use, and I'm not sure a definition is exported anyway.

It seems like it could be:

import { type DerivedModelSchema } from "@aws-amplify/data-schema-types"

const schema: DerivedModelSchema = a.schema({...})

But then I run into an issue on this line:

export type Schema = ClientSchema<typeof schema>;

Type 'DerivedModelSchema' does not satisfy the constraint 'GenericModelSchema<any> | CombinedModelSchema<any>'.
  Type 'DerivedModelSchema' is not assignable to type 'GenericModelSchema<any>'.
    Property 'models' is missing in type 'DerivedModelSchema' but required in type 'BaseSchema<any, false>'.ts(2344)
ModelSchema.d.ts(39, 5): 'models' is declared here.

Running into the same issue, not following:

` import { type ClientSchema, a, defineData } from "@aws-amplify/backend"; import { postConfirmation } from "../auth/post-confirmation/resource";

const schema = a .schema({ UserProfile: a .model({ email: a.string(), profileOwner: a.string(), }) .authorization((allow) => [ allow.ownerDefinedIn("profileOwner"), ]), }) .authorization((allow) => [allow.resource(postConfirmation)]); export type Schema = ClientSchema;

export const data = defineData({ schema, authorizationModes: { defaultAuthorizationMode: "apiKey", apiKeyAuthorizationMode: { expiresInDays: 30, }, }, } );`
