Hi, I I am following the tutorial here.

> **[Add a List All the Notes API](https://sst.dev/chapters/add-a-list-all-the-notes-api.html)**
>
> To allow users to retrieve their notes in our note taking app, we are going to add a list note GET API. To do this we will add a new Lambda function to our Serverless Framework project. The Lambda function will retrieve all the user’s notes from the...

Everything has worked perfectly up until I try  
`serverless invoke local --function list --path mocks/list-event.json`  
this is the error:

> ```
> {
> "statusCode": 500,
> "headers": {
> "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
> "Access-Control-Allow-Credentials": true
> },
> "body": "{\"status\":false}"
> }
> 
> ```

I have double checked the code and even copied pasted all the relevant files to my local.  
All the other local functions like create/get/update work just fine, so I don’t know what’s going on.  
any help please ! thanks

The `status: false` errors are generated in our code. So you can debug them by adding a `console.log` in your Lambda function.

I am new to this…where in the Lambda function would you write that?

anywhere in here :

> ```
> try {
> const result = await dynamoDbLib.call("query", params);
> console.log(result);
> // Return the matching list of items in response body
> return success(result.Items);
> } catch (e) {
> console.log(e);
> return failure({ status: false });
> }
> 
> ```

i had the the error ‘Query condition missed key schema element: noteId’, this was because i accdientally created the table with the wrong partition key
