_From @martinsaporiti on Sun May 21 2017 11:50:29 GMT+0000 (UTC)_ Hi, everyone. I need your help, please!!! When I running _serverless webpack invoke --function create --path event.json_ the result is this: ```bash **import _JSON$stringify from 'babel-runtime/core-js/json/stringify';** ^^^^^^ SyntaxError: Unexpected token import at Object.exports.runInThisContext (vm.js:76:16) at Module._compile (module.js:542:28) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:579:10) at Module.load (module.js:487:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:446:12) at Function.Module._load (module.js:438:3) at Module.require (module.js:497:17) at require (internal/module.js:20:19) at ServerlessWebpack.loadHandler (/Users/sapo/Development/notes/notes-app-api/node_modules/serverless-webpack/lib/run.js:21:20) at ServerlessWebpack.run (/Users/sapo/Development/notes/notes-app-api/node_modules/serverless-webpack/lib/run.js:61:26) at ServerlessWebpack.tryCatcher (/Users/sapo/Development/notes/notes-app-api/node_modules/bluebird/js/release/util.js:16:23) at Promise._settlePromiseFromHandler (/Users/sapo/Development/notes/notes-app-api/node_modules/bluebird/js/release/promise.js:512:31) at Promise._settlePromise (/Users/sapo/Development/notes/notes-app-api/node_modules/bluebird/js/release/promise.js:569:18) at Promise._settlePromise0 (/Users/sapo/Development/notes/notes-app-api/node_modules/bluebird/js/release/promise.js:614:10) at Promise._settlePromises (/Users/sapo/Development/notes/notes-app-api/node_modules/bluebird/js/release/promise.js:693:18) at Promise._fulfill (/Users/sapo/Development/notes/notes-app-api/node_modules/bluebird/js/release/promise.js:638:18) at Promise._resolveCallback (/Users/sapo/Development/notes/notes-app-api/node_modules/bluebird/js/release/promise.js:432:57) at Promise._settlePromiseFromHandler (/Users/sapo/Development/notes/notes-app-api/node_modules/bluebird/js/release/promise.js:524:17) at Promise._settlePromise (/Users/sapo/Development/notes/notes-app-api/node_modules/bluebird/js/release/promise.js:569:18) at Promise._settlePromise0 (/Users/sapo/Development/notes/notes-app-api/node_modules/bluebird/js/release/promise.js:614:10) at Promise._settlePromises (/Users/sapo/Development/notes/notes-app-api/node_modules/bluebird/js/release/promise.js:693:18) at Promise._fulfill (/Users/sapo/Development/notes/notes-app-api/node_modules/bluebird/js/release/promise.js:638:18) From previous event: at PluginManager.invoke (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/serverless/lib/classes/PluginManager.js:234:22) at PluginManager.run (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/serverless/lib/classes/PluginManager.js:253:17) at variables.populateService.then (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/serverless/lib/Serverless.js:96:33) From previous event: at Serverless.run (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/serverless/lib/Serverless.js:87:74) at serverless.init.then (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/serverless/bin/serverless:23:50) Your Environment Information ----------------------------- OS: darwin Node Version: 6.9.4 Serverless Version: 1.13.2 ``` Thanks!!! ---

_From @jayair on Sun May 21 2017 19:07:48 GMT+0000 (UTC)_ @go4cas That’s weird, the `react-app` preset should handle that already. Can I see your `package.json` just to make sure things are okay? ---

_From @jayair on Sun May 21 2017 19:09:10 GMT+0000 (UTC)_ @martinsaporiti this looks like the same issue as @go4cas. Let me check what is going on. ---

_From @jayair on Sun May 21 2017 20:19:33 GMT+0000 (UTC)_ @martinsaporiti @go4cas You guys are right, there is an issue with the new `react-app` preset. I just updated the chapter with the proper presets - [https://github.com/AnomalyInnovations/serverless-stack-com/commit/201c8818686650b67008d108b0aef047d8a59cec](https://github.com/AnomalyInnovations/serverless-stack-com/commit/201c8818686650b67008d108b0aef047d8a59cec) ---

_From @martinsaporiti on Mon May 22 2017 02:15:26 GMT+0000 (UTC)_ Thanks @jayair and @go4cas ! Now work perfectly: ```auto { statusCode: 200, headers: { 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*', 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials': true }, body: '{"userId":"USER-SUB-1234","noteId":"b605af70-3e93-11e7-8117-312305557adf","content":"hello world","attachment":"hello.jpg","createdAt":1495418979303}' } ``` I will continue with the tutorial. It’s very useful. Thanks again! ---

_From @oliv9286 on Fri Jun 02 2017 21:01:20 GMT+0000 (UTC)_ @jayair I’m running into the same problem as @deivers and @vfonsecapv when I run the test with event.json. I do have multiple profiles and I’m not using the default profile in this case. I’m using us-west-2 and I believe I already changed that everywhere in the code. Any clue how I can debug? ---

_From @oliv9286 on Fri Jun 02 2017 21:23:14 GMT+0000 (UTC)_ nevermind, I figured it out. If you’re not using your default profile then in your create.js you need to do `const credentials = new AWS.SharedIniFileCredentials({profile: 'profile_name'}); AWS.config.credentials = credentials;` ---

_From @jayair on Sat Jun 03 2017 11:46:36 GMT+0000 (UTC)_ @oliv9286 Thanks for reporting back. Are you setting this in the top of your `create.js`? ---

_From @tobyjo on Mon Jun 05 2017 15:27:48 GMT+0000 (UTC)_ I also get the same error as @deivers and @vfonsecapv . When I run ```auto ./node_modules/serverless/bin/serverless webpack invoke --function create --path event.json ``` I get ```auto Serverless: Run function create... { ResourceNotFoundException: Requested resource not found at Request.extractError (/home/tjones/note-app-api/node_modules/aws-sdk/lib/protocol/json.js:48:27) at Request.callListeners (/home/tjones/note-app-api/node_modules/aws-sdk/lib/sequential_executor.js:105:20) at Request.emit (/home/tjones/note-app-api/node_modules/aws-sdk/lib/sequential_executor.js:77:10) at Request.emit (/home/tjones/note-app-api/node_modules/aws-sdk/lib/request.js:682:14) at Request.transition (/home/tjones/note-app-api/node_modules/aws-sdk/lib/request.js:22:10) at AcceptorStateMachine.runTo (/home/tjones/note-app-api/node_modules/aws-sdk/lib/state_machine.js:14:12) at /home/tjones/note-app-api/node_modules/aws-sdk/lib/state_machine.js:26:10 at Request.

I do not have multiple profiles as @oliv9286 did. ---

_From @fwang on Wed Jun 07 2017 15:35:18 GMT+0000 (UTC)_ @tobyjo can I take a look at your serverless.yml? ---

_From @tobyjo on Thu Jun 08 2017 09:27:53 GMT+0000 (UTC)_ @fwang Sure, please find attached. [serverless.zip](https://github.com/AnomalyInnovations/serverless-stack-com/files/1060530/serverless.zip) ---

_From @kevinnguy on Sat Jun 10 2017 05:56:13 GMT+0000 (UTC)_ @tobyjo I’ve had the same issue as you and my problem was that my DynamoDB table wasn’t created when I thought I did. I would double-check in your AWS Console and see if your `notes` table was created. ---

_From @fwang on Sat Jun 10 2017 15:12:04 GMT+0000 (UTC)_ @tobyjo A side note about your serverless.yml, this is not related to the error you are seeing. The authorizer arn in your serverless.yml should start with “arn:aws:cognito-idp:” and look something like " arn:aws:cognito-idp:us-east-1:232771856781:userpool/us-east-1\_YExxXXxxx". You can get the User Pool arn from this chapter: > **[Create a Cognito User Pool](https://serverless-stack.com/chapters/create-a-cognito-user-pool.html)** > > Amazon Cognito User Pool handles sign-up and sign-in functionality for web and mobile apps. We are going to create a Cognito User Pool to store and manage the users for our serverless app. We’ll use the email address as username option since we want... Back to the issue you were seeing, try @kevinnguy’s suggestion. ---

_From @tobyjo on Fri Jun 16 2017 13:51:30 GMT+0000 (UTC)_ @kevinnguy @fwang Thanks both. Have been distracted currently with other work but as soon as I get back to this I will let you know the results. Thanks again. ---

_From @copperspeed on Fri Jun 23 2017 07:53:35 GMT+0000 (UTC)_ Any reason why I am receiving the error below? ```auto serverless webpack invoke -f create -p mocks/create-event.json /mnt/c/Users/cgrecea/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/serverless/node_modules/bluebird/js/release/async.js:48 fn = function () { throw arg; }; ^ ServerlessError: In the command you just typed, the "webpack" is valid but "invoke" is not. Enter "serverless help" to see the actions for this context. at new ServerlessError (/mnt/c/Users/cgrecea/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/serverless/lib/ServerlessError.js:17:11) ``` ---

_From @jayair on Fri Jun 23 2017 17:11:22 GMT+0000 (UTC)_ @copperspeed Can you make sure you’ve added `serverless-webpack` to your project? We do this in the **Install Babel and Webpack** step of this chapter [http://serverless-stack.com/chapters/add-support-for-es6-es7-javascript.html](http://serverless-stack.com/chapters/add-support-for-es6-es7-javascript.html). ---

_From @copperspeed on Sat Jun 24 2017 01:33:26 GMT+0000 (UTC)_ @jayair yes, I have serverless-webpack installed. ```auto devDependencies": { "aws-sdk": "^2.72.0", "babel-core": "^6.25.0", "babel-loader": "^7.0.0", "babel-plugin-transform-runtime": "^6.23.0", "babel-preset-es2015": "^6.24.1", "babel-preset-stage-3": "^6.24.1", "glob": "^7.1.2", "serverless-webpack": "^1.0.0-rc.4", "webpack": "^2.6.1", "webpack-node-externals": "^1.6.0" }, "dependencies": { "babel-runtime": "^6.23.0", "uuid": "^3.1.0" } ``` ---

_From @copperspeed on Sat Jun 24 2017 21:58:33 GMT+0000 (UTC)_ Ok, my issue was do to forgetting to install Serverless. Duh!!! lol ---

_From @RobbingDaHood on Tue Jul 04 2017 17:11:49 GMT+0000 (UTC)_ This weekend I got through the whole example without any problems, today I get the error: ERROR in Entry module not found: Error: Can’t resolve ‘babel’ in ‘C:\projects\happyToHelp\backend’ BREAKING CHANGE: It’s no longer allowed to omit the ‘-loader’ suffix when using loaders. You need to specify ‘babel-loader’ instead of ‘babel’, see [https://webpack.js.org/guides/migrating/#automatic-loader-module-name-extension-removed](https://webpack.js.org/guides/migrating/#automatic-loader-module-name-extension-removed) When executing: serverless webpack invoke --function create --path mocks/create-event.json I fixed this by going to webpack.config.js and changing from: loaders: [‘babel’], To: loaders: [‘babel-loader’], And now it works. ---

_From @jayair on Tue Jul 04 2017 17:27:08 GMT+0000 (UTC)_ @RobbingDaHood Thanks for letting us know. I’ll take a look into whats going on. Can you share your `package.json`? I’d like to see which version is giving this error.
