How did you install the Amplify CLI?

npm

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

v18.20.2

Amplify CLI Version

12.4.0

What operating system are you using?

Ubuntu (22.04.4)

Did you make any manual changes to the cloud resources managed by Amplify? Please describe the changes made.

No manual changes made.

Describe the bug

When attempting to update the auth category of a project (when the api category has the status of No Change) the deployment fails with the following error.

Parameters: [unauthRoleName] do not exist in the template

Expected behavior

The auth category changes can be deployed, even if there has been no change to the api category.

Reproduction steps

1. Have an Amplify project with an api and auth category, where all changes have been deployed and both categories have the status No Change

2. Make some change to the auth config (I upgraded a lambda in the cloud formation template to run node 18 - but any change will trigger this).

3. Run amplify push -y.

The cli will successfully begin deploying the auth changes. It will throw the unauthRoleName error when trying to deploy the api category.

Additional information

The changes will successfully deploy IF there is any change to the api category resources. So, adding an arbitrary change to the api configuration will cause both categories to be in the status Update, and then amplify push will successfully complete for both.

Hey @alice-was-here, thank you for reaching out. Could you provide us the following information.

1. Project identifier output when running amplify diagnose --send-report
2. Could you verify if the team-provider-info.json and amplify-meta.json contain the UnauthRoleName parameter.
3. type of API created in the project, is this is a GraphQL API or REST API?

1. Identifier: 041877376e08b4e55ad7371782ce979b
2. Yes, both files contain the UnauthRoleName param.
3. It is a graphql api.

Hey @alice-was-here, thank you for the information. On diving into the files noticed the parameters.json under the api/<api-name>/build folder contains the following

 "authRoleName": {
    "Ref": "AuthRoleName"
  },

but the parameters.json at the api/<api-name> root folder does not contain this.
Transferring the issue to our API repository for better assistance.
