Describe the bug

I used amplify mock function once. Now, every time I do an amplify push --y - it keeps putting back in

"aws_appsync_dangerously_connect_to_http_endpoint_for_testing": true,

in my amplifyconfiguration.json and was-exports.js

I saw an old bug with this, but am unable to find it again - it was closed as fixed. Clearly it isn't fixed, as it keeps happening. I am using cli version 12.10.3

Expected behavior

Not to put the mock "aws_appsync_dangerously_connect_to_http_endpoint_for_testing": true in the config files.

Reproduction steps

delete "aws_appsync_dangerously_connect_to_http_endpoint_for_testing": true, from the 2 config files
amplify mock function
amplify push --y
"aws_appsync_dangerously_connect_to_http_endpoint_for_testing": true
shows back up again in the config files.

Additional information and screenshots

Where does one notify the 'mock' engine to stop mocking? With the dangerously_connect options, all of my GraphQL subscriptions stop working.

[ggcespia]

Is there some setting I can disable to make this stop doing this? I don't see any "mock cleanup" or the like. Is there some value in a json file I can tweak?

[ggcespia]

After looking at the Amplify source and grep'ing my drive for testMode, I found amplify/backend/amplify-meta.json - where testMode: true was put in there under my api.output (most likely from the mock command). I set that to false and now, the ..dangerously.. values do not get reinstated. Obviously, this isn't the 'clean' way to do this, but until someone fixes the code to somehow shut off that testMode value, this worked for me.
"api": {
"myapiname": {
"output": {
...
"testMode": false <- this was true when generating the offending aws_appsync_dangerously_connect_to_http_endpoint_for_testing
}
}
}

[chrisbonifacio]

Hi @ggcespia can you confirm whether this behavior occurs in development or in production? What should happen in prod is that the CLI regenerates the config with testMode being false by default.

Transferring this to amplify-category-api for better support as it is a build-time issue
