Amplify Admin not communicating with CLI

[DHFJIEKSMfjfdig645879312494876623644384]

Hey all,

I'm running into a bit of an issue before I'm getting started.
I'm trying to link up my CLI with my Admin account on Amplify and when I run the line of code from the panel
"amplify pull --appId d************ --envName Example"
to the CLI for a pull, it won't communicate and stops me from connecting.

It says: "Failed to communnicate with the Amplify CLI. You can try again by running:
amplify configure --appId d************ --envName Example"

I'm pretty new at this stuff so if it seems obvious, I'm a noob.
Can anyone please help?

Many thanks,
Adam

Hello, which Platform/OS and browser are you using?

Can you try Google chrome or firefox and see if that resolves this issue?

Hey, sorry I'd went to sleep.
I'd been using the CLI that AWS recommends called Node.js CLI.

I'll install Firefox and try to get through that way

It still won't work unfortunately. It says it still can't communicate :(

@DHFJIEKSMfjfdig645879312494876623644384 I'm running into the same problem. What did you do to fix this? The only suggestion the Admin UI gives is to try running the pull command again, but that's not helping.

I'm on Mac OS 11.0.1 and using Safari.

Update: Switching my default browser to Firefox resolved the issue, for some reason. For any maintainers reading this, I would at least fix the typo in the error message. Someone accidentally spelled "communicate" with two n's.

@ajenkins Ack. We'll make the change. Thank you for letting us know.

I'm also having this issue. Running Mac OS 12.3.1 Tried both Safari and Chrome. Checked the port. The only thing running on 4242 is Amplify. Update: installed firefox and set to default. Still doesn't work. This is ridiculously glitchy.
