Amplify-console: Amplify Console is blank all of a sudden

[dragosiordachioaia]

I have a few projects all running fine on Amplify, but for one of them, about a week ago, the main console view started showing a blank page.

All of the other projects work completely fine.

All of the sub-pages on the problem project also work fine (General, Domain Management, Previews etc) if I navigate to them directly, but they do also break depending on what sequence of pages I go through. There are also console errors showing (displayed below). Sometimes it even crashes to the point that I have to restart the page.

After further investigation, it turns out that the problem was caused by the YAML file uploaded to the "build settings" section, which had a duplicated section. This happened because when doing CMD+A in the editor, and then "paste", "delete" or really anything else, it doesn't actually delete the selected content, it just ignores it.

This highlights 3 things:
1) Having an error with the YAML file should actually be highlighted in the UI, not just in the console.
2) The Amplify Console itself should not just crash, without feedback to the user.
3) The editor for the "build settings" file should be more robust when dealing with keyboard shortcuts.

I saw this error today as well. deleted the yaml from the build settings. project has a amplify.yaml in the code. This resolved the blank console error

🙏🏼

Deleting the file is not the solution, catching the validation error and handling it appropriately is.

agree... just sharing that this thread was helpful in providing a workaround for my issue
