Update API Gateway on updated Open API Spec.

[lonnblad]

Hi,

I started using the SpecRestApi, but I have an issue that whenever I update the Open API Spec, the API doesn't get updated.

Is there a setting for this or do I have to do anything special for it to reimport the Open API Spec?

const api = new SpecRestApi(this, 'rest-api', {
  apiDefinition: ApiDefinition.fromBucket(bucket, 'rest-api.yaml')
});

As the rest-api.yaml is stored in the S3 bucket and apiDefinition points to the location of that path, the synthesized CFN template from CDK will remain unchanged and I don't think the re-deploy will trigger API update. I don't think there is an option to force redeployment. I would recommend update the filename like rest-api.v0.1.1.yaml every time you update and upload the definition file to S3 and update the cdk accordingly.

Thank you, the trick was definitely using a new filename every time the file was updated, like adding a version tag.
