Amplify Push erroring out when updating CustomResources.json - amazon-web-services

Question

I'm building a geospatial search on properties using AWS Amplify and ElasticSearch.
I'm currently following this guide: https://gerard-sans.medium.com/finding-the-nearest-locations-around-you-using-aws-amplify-part-2-ce4603605be6
I set up my model as follows
type Property #model #searchable #auth(rules: [{allow: public}]) {
id: ID!
...
Loc: Coord!
}
type Coord {
lon: Float!
lat: Float!
}
I also added a custom Query:
type Query {
nearbyProperties(
location: LocationInput!,
m: Int,
limit: Int,
nextToken: String
): ModelPropertyConnection
}
input LocationInput {
lat: Float!
lon: Float!
}
type ModelPropertyConnection {
items: [Property]
total: Int
nextToken: String
}
I added resolvers for request and response:
## Query.nearbyProperties.req.vtl
## Objects of type Property will be stored in the /property index
#set( $indexPath = "/property/doc/_search" )
#set( $distance = $util.defaultIfNull($ctx.args.m, 500) )
#set( $limit = $util.defaultIfNull($ctx.args.limit, 10) )
{
"version": "2017-02-28",
"operation": "GET",
"path": "$indexPath.toLowerCase()",
"params": {
"body": {
"from" : 0,
"size" : ${limit},
"query": {
"bool" : {
"must" : {
"match_all" : {}
},
"filter" : {
"geo_distance" : {
"distance" : "${distance}m",
"Loc" : $util.toJson($ctx.args.location)
}
}
}
},
"sort": [{
"_geo_distance": {
"Loc": $util.toJson($ctx.args.location),
"order": "asc",
"unit": "m",
"distance_type": "arc"
}
}]
}
}
}
and response:
## Query.nearbyProperties.res.vtl
#set( $items = [] )
#foreach( $entry in $context.result.hits.hits )
#if( !$foreach.hasNext )
#set( $nextToken = "$entry.sort.get(0)" )
#end
$util.qr($items.add($entry.get("_source")))
#end
$util.toJson({
"items": $items,
"total": $ctx.result.hits.total,
"nextToken": $nextToken
})
And now the CustomStacks.json:
{
"AWSTemplateFormatVersion": "2010-09-09",
"Description": "An auto-generated nested stack.",
"Metadata": {},

"AppSyncApiId": {

}
}
}
},

}
},

"Description": "An empty output. You may delete this if you have at least one resource above.",

}
}
}
But when i try to amplify push, it does not work. Something about: Resource is not in the state stackUpdateComplete
Any help?

You could take a look in cloudformation at the resource. You're instance is probably stuck in update. Go to : Cloudformation, select your instance (or uncheck view nested first) and go to the events tab. There you will probably find a reason why the instance can't update.
If it's stuck, cancel within the stack actions.
