Amplify Build failed with version 4.21.3 - Error: auth headless is missing the following inputParams googleAppIdUserPool, googleAppSecretUserPool

[contractorwolf]

The app works fine locally and uses cognito with a federated login through google. Login works fine running on my local system, as does all the rest of the functionality. It is a simple VUE with just 2 pages but it uses auth, api, and has 2 cron'ed functions that work on the regular schedule. What I am trying to do is deploy my front end but the BUILD fails coming from github triggers on my master branch. Everytime I push to master it tries to deploy to AWS Amplify and I get this when it fails:

(taken from the downloaded build logs.)

The backend functions and can be accessed when I hit it running the code locally, and I can see all of my data in DynamoDB, so I know the full backend is working. The front end just has an issue deploying. I saw in other comments the suggestion to add some configuration for the google account clientId to the team-provider-info.json file. I noticed that mine (hostedUIProviderCreds in amplifynewsscrapere0220fb9) was in a different format than the suggestion (googleClientId in Cognito node), neither seems to solve the issue:

        "categories": {
            "auth": {
                "amplifynewsscrapere0220fb9": {
                    "hostedUIProviderCreds": "[{\"ProviderName\":\"Google\",\"client_id\":\"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.apps.googleusercontent.com\",\"client_secret\":\"XXXXXXXXXX\"}]"
                },
                "Cognito": {
                    "googleClientId": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.apps.googleusercontent.com"
                }
            }
        }

Other suggestions included:
sudo amplify init --amplify "{\"envName\":\"dev\"}" --categories "{\"auth\":{\"googleAppIdUserPool\":\"googleAppId\",\"googleAppSecretUserPool\":\"googleAppSecret\"}}" --yes
That executed fine but that also didnt seem to address the issue.

my aws-exports:
`
const awsmobile = {
"aws_project_region": "us-east-1",
"aws_appsync_graphqlEndpoint": "https://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.appsync-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/graphql",

],

},

};

I would love a good explanation if anyone knows why this is failing. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I found a solution that seemed to solve this for me. In the Amplify console I added the following environmental variables and their values (based on what I saw in another similar post):
AMPLIFY_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID
AMPLIFY_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET

In the Amplify web console, when you are looking at your project you should see the environmental variables section in the menu. I added the 2 above values in there and then pushed a minor code change up to kick off the build again and it was able to finish building this time without errors.

@contractorwolf Closing this issue for now, as it appear that you've solved your problem 🙂 Also, for any further help related to deploying your application to the Amplify Console, their repo would probably be a better place to open up an issue for a faster resolution.
