Describe the bug

Any changes to the Lambda layer are not being recognized. According to https://docs.amplify.aws/cli/function/layers/#lambda-layer-versions and https://docs.amplify.aws/cli/function/layers/#update-layer-content on modifying a lambda layer changes will be detected and a new version will be created but the CLI currently does not recognize the changes.

methods tried:

1. modified the package.json with a new dependency
2. installed node modules using npm.
3. performed amplify update function for both function and layer.
4. performed amplify env checkout to trigger a new layer version.

Expected behavior

CLI should be able to recognize layer changes and create a new version.

Reproduction steps

1. amplify add function
2. select layer
3. amplify add function
4. add layer to function
5. amplify push

I am seeing this as well. I can't figure out a way to get the layer to update.

@CSHaze what OS are you using? I have not been able to reproduce on macOS.

@jhockett I am using windows 10. I was ultimately able to get it to update using amplify push —force

FWIW, I'm also seeing this bug in amplify-cli version 10.8.1 (yes, running on windows 10).
The above mentioned workaround (amplify push --force) doesn't work for this case in 10.8.1: The amplify-cli generated cloudformation template for the new version of the Layer sets the description field to null, which causes the update to fail (no, the cli doesn't prompt for the version's description when it's a forced push).

Is this getting assigned and fixed anytime soon?

Jeez, I'm facing the same issue, I change the code inside the layer folder but the push command does not recognize the changes
