What is the current behavior?
I update my schema and save it, run amplify push, and it makes no changes to the AppSync API.

Run amplify push (or amplify api push)

What is the expected behavior?
Changes should be detected and the AppSync schema & resolvers should be updated

Did you update the schema file in the amplify/backend/resource-name/schema.qraphl file which has the annotated schema in it?

Ahh, I wasn't aware it was just copying my schema file somewhere else. I thought it would just keep a pointer to mine, and use that as the source of truth. Thanks.

For anyone else having problems with this, whilst working fast, I was editing the schema as it was being pushed, which seemed to upset the file watcher. By the time I came run amplify push, it was not aware that the file had been updated and I had to force it by adding a dummy type.
