Question about amplify pull parameters

Amplify CLI Version

12.7.0

Question

I am trying to pull my app into a non-OneDrive folder as suggested in 13336. However, the pull failed. Here is the output:

PS C:\programming\aws\workshops\serverlessWebApp\jpm-event-planner> amplify pull --appId d1pej0nhgss3ma --envName dev

I'm not sure whether what I entered for Distribution Directory Path, Build Command, and Start Command were correct. I just took the suggested defaults even though I had been executing "npm run dev" in the app's previous OneDrive location. I went to the troubleshooting link, but the only help there about pull was about failures with a large number of UI components. That's not my problem.

Any thoughts about this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hey @jeremymtx, thank you for reaching out. Could you run the pull command with the --debug and provide us the output?
are you pulling the backend in a empty folder or into a directory containing a framework?

[jeremymtx]

Here it is with --debug:

Prior to running the pull, I had executed the command npm create vuetify and then npm install. I thought this created the vue framework.

Seeing the contains invalid WIN32 path characters in the exception above, I re-ran the command with the C: removed in the source directory path and had the output below. Maybe it's okay now? I am not sure if I need to pay attention to the Not pulling components...not configured with the "react" framework. It's not set up with react.

Hey @jeremymtx, if you are running the command in the root of the directory that has your framework configured, you can just pass in src without the full path. looking at the dir output and path it appears you have a vue app with src folder present.
additionally, you can run amplify configure project and modify the project information.
