Describe the bug

We are unable to deploy to our development environment in Amplify. One of our deployments failed, and after that, we haven't been able to redeploy - the same code is running in other environments.

After running amplify push (either locally or via a build), we get the following error:
Cannot iteratively rollback as the following step does not contain a previousMetaKey: {"status":"DEPLOYING"}

After searching for previous issues, some suggested deleting the deployment-state.json file from S3 and redeploying it. But unfortunately, that does not work either. After doing that, we receive the following error:
🛑 ["Index: 0 State: {\"deploy\":\"waitingForDeployment\"} Message: Resource is not in the state stackUpdateComplete"]

Expected behavior

It should build and deploy.

Reproduction steps

1. amplify pull --appId d3pgmzdoktuvon --envName main
2. amplify env checkout dev
3. amplify push

CLI says it's deploying, but I cannot see any traces of it in CloudFormation.

Any tips to get it working again? Is the only option to remove the environment and set it up again?

Hi @espenbye apologies for the delay. We are investigating this to find another potential workaround to get your environment out of this state and will update shortly.

Is there any additional logging before or after the Cannot iteratively rollback as the following step does not contain a previousMetaKey: {"status":"DEPLOYING"} error?

No worries. Since we was not able to get it up and working again, we just created a new environment- so it's no longer an issue for us. But let me know if you still need any logs ☺️

For anyone else that ends up with a stuck deployment like this, one option is to go to the appropriate amplify-*-deployment bucket and remove the deployment-state.json file there, then re-deploying via the CLI. I ran into this after terminating a stuck deployment.
