Subject: Need Help with Gradlew Command Error – Missing amplify-outputs.json
Hey everyone,
I’m currently working on a project that involves using Gradle, and I’ve hit a bit of a roadblock. Whenever I try to run the gradlew command, I get an error stating that it can’t find the module `amplify-outputs.json`.
I’ve double-checked the project structure and confirmed that the file should be there, but it’s still throwing this error. I’m not sure if it’s a configuration issue or something else.
Has anyone experienced this before? What steps can I take to troubleshoot this problem? Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi there,
It sounds like you’re having a frustrating issue with your Gradle setup! Here are a few steps you could take to troubleshoot the missing
amplify-outputs.json
file:Ensure that your Amplify CLI is properly configured. Run
amplify init
in your project directory to set it up again and see if that generates the missing file.Sometimes files may be in unexpected locations. Look for
amplify-outputs.json
in theamplify/backend
oramplify/.config
directory.If you have an existing project in the cloud, try running
amplify pull
to fetch the latest configuration and outputs. This might restore the missing file.If you have multiple environments, make sure you’re working in the correct one. The wrong environment might not have the expected outputs.
The AWS Amplify documentation includes troubleshooting sections that might provide more insight into this issue.
If none of these steps work, consider posting the exact error message and your gradle command here for more specific guidance. Good luck, and don’t hesitate to ask if you need further help!

It sounds like you’re encountering a common issue when working with AWS Amplify and Gradle. The `amplify-outputs.json` file is typically generated during the Amplify backend setup process, storing information about the resources created. First, ensure that you have correctly initialized your Amplify project using the
amplify init
command. If the file is still missing, you might want to runamplify push
, which can regenerate the outputs file based on your current configuration. Additionally, verify that the project is correctly configured to point to the right environment and that there were no errors during the Amplify setup process.If you’ve confirmed that the project is set up correctly and the file is still missing, check for the existence of the
amplify
directory in your project root. Within that directory, you should see abackend
directory containing theamplify-outputs.json
file. If it’s not present, you may need to pull the latest updates from the cloud usingamplify pull
. Should the problem persist after these steps, consider deleting theamplify
directory and reinitializing withamplify init
, but be sure to back up any important configurations first. This should help resolve your issue and allow the Gradlew command to execute successfully.
