Describe the bug

Amplify Datastore saves data locally only. When I use DataStore.save(), the data is not saved in dynamoDb . I'm able to query data that has being stored before though. Other than that, the App is listening for Datastore events and I never get a "ready" event. I'm wondering that the problem might be on the Schema design.

Here bellow I attached screenshots of my Schema design and where I'm listening for DataStore events.

Expected behavior

DataStore being able to sync with dynamoDb

Reproduction steps

DataStore.Save(new Schema())

Hi @israx, are you seeing this issue on DataStore.save for all models in your schema or a select few? Could you share some examples of the DataStore.save calls are showing this behavior?

[israx]

For all of them. This is how I'm calling the API and also here are some logged events I'm getting.

[dpilch]

Could you try upgrading to aws-amplify@4.3.21? This version contains a new feature that might show additional errors logged to the console.

Hi,

I'm facing the same issue after running amplify pull into an existing React Native project. Using API.graphql saves data but DataStore.save submits data locally only and never syncs to cloud where as API.graphql(mutation) does. I've using version "aws-amplify": "^4.3.21"

Please advise @dpilch

Hi @pratikdhody, are you seeing an error in the console?

[israx]

I was able to see the error logged in the console after updating aws-amplify, I was not passing an "id" property to one of my schemas. Now it's working fine.

[dpilch]

Do you mind sharing the full error message? We are working to improve the error logging and having real examples would be useful.

[israx]

Apologies I was not able to reproduce the error anymore. I already updated my schema design which is deployed to production.
