amplify-cli: Amplify Pull Request creates: Failed to pull the backend.

How did you install the Amplify CLI?

npm

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

18.18.0

Amplify CLI Version

12.7.1

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 have been going along nice and wonderfully using Amplify. This weekend, I decided to do something awesome and push a Mutation for a function that was generated outside of Amplify. It was a brilliant idea in my head and how much damage could it do if it did not work?

It did not work. It did a lot of damage.

I finally got my changes backed out from CloudFormation and Cloudformation was in a UPDATE SUCCESSFULL state.

1. I created a Appsync function to mimc the function that Cloudformation was saying was missing.
2. I deleted an created a new API key (because the current API key had expired during this endeavor AND it was causing more problems…fortunately, I was able to delete the API key and create a much bigger problem).

Describe the bug

I have been going along nice and wonderfully using Amplify. This weekend, I decided to do something awesome and push a Mutation for a function that was generated outside of Amplify. It was a brilliant idea in my head and how much damage could it do if it did not work?

It did not work. It did a lot of damage.

I finally got my changes backed out from CloudFormation and Cloudformation was in a UPDATE SUCCESSFULL state.

Now…when I commit changes to github to kick of a new build, the build fails with: 🛑 Failed to pull the backend. !!! Build Failed !!! Non-Zero Exit Code detected.

…You can imagine my surprise. The coder was so out of his mind about the seriousness of this error that he put THREE exclamation marks BEFORE the message.

When I try to pull the backend through Amplify Pull on my laptop, I get:

🛑 Failed to pull the backend.

I think the coder had calmed down that they did not put any exclamation marks.

I know its Friday so everyone is fried and ready for the weekend. Unfortunately, I have lost a week on this issue and am trying to get caught up this weekend.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated. 😃)))

Expected behavior

I expected my Amplify pull to pull down the environment. And I expected the build to work in Amplify.

Reproduction steps

Commit changes to Github through Visual Code. Watch build fail on Amplify Console. Download build logs from Amplify console. Try to pull enviromnent into a new environment on laptop
