Hi @poyashad,

It would be great if the extension allows developers to change the active Amplify environment on their local machine! Thank you for the great work on this extension!

Hi Poya,

I have noticed that after I create a new Amplify project, or pull a project using the CLI, I need to restart VSCode before the plugin starts showing my environment details.

Is this something that can be addressed?

Hi @poyashad ,

It would be great if while using commands from the extension, that a new terminal screen would not be created every single time.

You can see in the source code it uses vscode.window.createTerminal to run the Amplify CLI. Instead maybe you could run the command as a child process of the extension.

import * as cp from "child_process";

const execShell = (cmd: string) =>
    new Promise<string>((resolve, reject) => {
        cp.exec(cmd, (err, out) => {
            if (err) {
                return reject(err);
            }
            return resolve(out);
        });
    });
