Frontend fails but still update

Question

Hello,  
  
The frontend build fails even though there are no errors, only warnings for the npm install. I confirmed that build is working via CLI (using create react app). Also, confirmed my front end changes are deployed.  
  
It seems like Amplify Console is reporting a failed build when in reality it worked.

Answer

Also, builds sometimes take up to 30 mins.

Answer

cache size issue. see here for workaround:

Answer

Now my app is not updating at all.

Answer

You could solve it by removing any override package version in Amplify build settings.

You might add npm i -g @aws-amplify/cli as a preBuild command, which forces a reset in the cache. 
```
version: 1
backend:
  phases:
    preBuild:
      commands:
        - npm i -g @aws-amplify/cli
    build:
      commands:
        - '# Execute Amplify CLI with the helper script'
        - amplifyPush --simple
frontend:
  phases:
    preBuild:
      commands:
        - npm ci
    build:
      commands:
        - npm run build
  artifacts:
    baseDirectory: .next
    files:
      - '**/*'
  cache:
    paths:
      - node_modules/**/*
```
