Hey @kouz75 and folks in the thread 👋 we were able to reproduce this with Amplify CLI 10.3.0 using the following steps (also noted in this comment):

1. amplify init -y
2. amplify add auth
3. amplify update auth > add user pool groups
4. amplify push -y
5. git init
6. git clean -fXd remove gitignored from local directory (to simulate fresh clone)
7. amplify init --envName dev --yes

I’m going to mark this as a duplicate of #9508 and track as a new bug given it is impacting the latest version of the CLI

As a workaround, you can manually create a parameters.json file in the auth resource’s build directory with an empty object as the contents {} prior to the headless init. In the case of Amplify Hosting, you can run this before amplifyPush --simple

cd amplify/backend/auth/<resource-name>/ && mkdir build && echo '{}' > build/parameters.json && cd -

I’m having this issue as well with amplify version 10.3.0 when I clone my project onto my local machine and try to initialize the backend environment using amplify init. This also occurs when my project tries to build in the cloud whenever CD is triggered on commits to git.

EDIT: as a workaround you can downgrade your version of amplify CLI in build settings on the amplify console to 10.2.3 this should allow your project to build again. You can do the same locally by downgrading the cli version with npm i @aws-amplify/cli@10.2.3
