I want to control Amplify deployments from GitHub Actions because Amplify auto-build
cypress job out-of-the-box
App settings / General / Branches).scripts/amplify-deploy.sh
echo "Deploy app $1 branch $2"
JOB_ID=$(aws amplify start-job --app-id $1 --branch-name $2 --job-type RELEASE | jq -r '.jobSummary.jobId')
echo "Release started"
echo "Job ID is $JOB_ID"
while [[ "$(aws amplify get-job --app-id $1 --branch-name $2 --job-id $JOB_ID | jq -r '.job.summary.status')" =~ ^(PENDING|RUNNING)$ ]]; do sleep 1; done
JOB_STATUS="$(aws amplify get-job --app-id $1 --branch-name $2 --job-id $JOB_ID | jq -r '.job.summary.status')"
echo "Job finished"
echo "Job status is $JOB_STATUS"
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
env:
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: ${{ secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: ${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION: us-east-1
AWS_DEFAULT_OUTPUT: json
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Deploy
run: ./scripts/amplify-deploy.sh xxxxxxxxxxxxx master
You could improve the script to fail if the release fails, add needed steps (e.g. lint, test), add a GitHub Environment, etc.
There's also amplify-cli-action but it didn't work for me.
Similar to answer 2 here, but I used tags instead.
Create an action like ci.yml, turn off auto-build on the staging & prod envs in amplify and create the webhook triggers.
name: CI-Staging
on:
release:
types: [prereleased]
permissions: read-all # This is required to read the secrets
jobs:
deploy-staging:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
permissions: read-all # This is required to read the secrets
steps:
- name: deploy
run: |
URL="${{ secrets.STAGING_DEPLOY_WEBHOOK }}"
curl -X POST -d {} "$URL" -H "Content-Type: application/json"
name: CI-production
on:
release:
types: [released]
permissions: read-all # This is required to read the secrets
jobs:
deploy-production:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
permissions: read-all # This is required to read the secrets
steps:
- name: deploy
run: |
URL="${{ secrets.PRODUCTION_DEPLOY_WEBHOOK }}"
curl -X POST -d {} "$URL" -H "Content-Type: application/json"
App settings > general in the AWS Amplify console and disable automatic builds there.App settings > Build Settings and create a web hook which is a curl command that will trigger a build.curl -X POST -d {} URL -H "Content-Type: application/json"curl script to the GitHub actions YAML script like this:deploy:

steps:
- name: deploy

curl -X POST -d {} "$URL" -H "Content-Type: application/json"

run: |
cd frontend
npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli
amplify pull --appId d12v71fvv6s7j9 -y
echo "🚀 Publishing app..."
amplify publish -y
This works for me. I was stuck with this whole day to find solution
make sure you create amplify setup in your repo
to make that
amplify init
amplify add hosting
for appId after intializing the amplify you can see an app created in amplify dashboard you can find the app id there
make sure this configs have correct build and deploy command
.\amplify\.config\project-config.json
