Describe the bug

Unable to initialize new environment from an Amplify project after freshly cloning from git due to missing parameters.json in the auth resource’s build/ directory. As a workaround, we can run amplify build to generate the missing file and allow us to initialize an environment.

Note: we are also unable to use the --app parameter of init to initialize a project from git: amplify init --app git@github.com:josefaidt/missingauth.git

✔ Successfully created initial AWS cloud resources for deployments.
✔ Initialized provider successfully.
✖ There was an error initializing your environment.

Expected behavior

New or existing environment is initialized

Reproduction steps

1. amplify init -y
2. amplify add auth > choose defaults with username
3. amplify push -y
4. add to git (sample: https://github.com/josefaidt/missingauth.git)
5. cd to an empty sibling directory, mkdir ../missingauthtmp; cd ../missingauthtmp
6. clone from git git clone git@github.com:josefaidt/missingauth.git
7. attempt to initialize the project with amplify init > create new environment
8. observe error

Workaround

1. run amplify build
2. observe resource build directory is created and populated
3. initialize with amplify init
