Describe the bug

Following this instruction set https://docs.amplify.aws/cli-legacy/graphql-transformer/relational/, I follow the instructions to exactness. At the point of running amplify api add-graphql-datasource, I get a strange error. The documentation seems to be legacy(if you look to where the documentation exists), but I failed to find any updated version.

Expected behavior

The amplify command line interface should allow you to run amplify api add-graphql-datasource without error. If that command is deprecated it should state as such.

Reproduction steps

  1. Follow the steps in https://docs.amplify.aws/cli-legacy/graphql-transformer/relational/

@Dennis-Dekker thanks for the heads up, I’ll grab the latest update.

It looks like the docs aren’t fully up to date with every feature flag released, but generally speaking this is where you would find feature flag information: https://docs.amplify.aws/cli/reference/feature-flags/
