Pull environmnet on Github workflow

[afern247]

Amplify CLI Version

11.0.2

Question

I'd like to create a workflow on github actions to pull my environment so I can run the app and make sure it builds on, this is useful for pull requests, tests and publishing the app. Since there are multiple steps such as logging in on the web, how can do this?

Locally I would pull the environment and it would open a website to authenticate. Is there a way to do it all via CLI by providing let's say a token?

Thanks

Hey @afern247 👋 thanks for raising this! Check out this Action for setting up AWS credentials https://github.com/aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials, this should allow you to run amplify pull --appId <app-id> --envName <env-name>/amplify init on your project in GitHub Actions.

Despite whether you are using Amplify Studio or sessions via aws sso and IAM Identity Center, the amplify/.config/local-aws-info.json file (which determines how you authenticate locally) is gitignored. Meaning when you authenticate in GitHub Actions with the temporary credentials on environment variables you will not be redirected to the site for login.

Today, there are two active bugs which may cause an issue with this flow:

• upgrade to 10.8.1 returning failed to get profile credentials #12174
• Construct the credentials from environment variables #407
