It appears to have been an issue with using the wrong App Client ID.

Hi @dsherida, I’ve got similar error of “TypeError: Cannot read property ‘1’ of null” as per your post. Did you get that resolved? If so , how? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I found the mistake (not hard given such a long command). the invoke\_url was entered incorrectly. Thanks

For me it was the policy issue. Try changing the ARN to allow your account or ‘Any in this account’ and go from there.  
This is what worked for me:  
“arn:aws:execute-api:YOUR\_API\_GATEWAY\_REGION:YOUR\_ACCOUNT:YOUR\_API\_GATEWAY\_ID/_/_/\*”

I’ve completed the automated deployments for the backend but I’m getting a 403 when trying to test the dev api. I’m using the following (although I’ve also used my non-custom domain for the `invoke-url` - [https://bmrv7h8aj6.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev](https://bmrv7h8aj6.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev)):

```auto

  }
}

```

I’ve used the policy simulator and it looks like I’m missing the permission to make requests to the API Gateway.

Can anyone she any light on why the `services/resources/cognito-policy.yml` isn’t being applied? It’s probably worth noting this was on the root of the project (i.e. outside of services directory) before I deployed via Seed.

You can see my [code here](https://github.com/adieCodes/serverless-stack-api)

Turns out the policy I had added, `cognitive-policy.yml` in my serverless app wasn’t nested in the correct directory. Should have been services/notes/resources, I hadn’t put it within /notes. Thanks for taking the time to help

This is my DynamoDB Stack. I have userId here, so I’m confused why it is missing.

```
import { CfnOutput } from "@aws-cdk/core";
import * as dynamodb from "@aws-cdk/aws-dynamodb";
import * as sst from "@serverless-stack/resources";

export default class DynamoDBStack extends sst.Stack {
  constructor(scope, id, props) {
    super(scope, id, props);

    const app = this.node.root;

    const table = new dynamodb.Table(this, "Table", {
      billingMode: dynamodb.BillingMode.PAY_PER_REQUEST, // Use on-demand billing mode
      sortKey: { name: "noteId", type: dynamodb.AttributeType.STRING },
      partitionKey: { name: "userId", type: dynamodb.AttributeType.STRING },
    });

    // Output values
    new CfnOutput(this, "TableName", {
      value: table.tableName,
      exportName: app.logicalPrefixedName("TableName"),
    });
    new CfnOutput(this, "TableArn", {
      value: table.tableArn,
      exportName: app.logicalPrefixedName("TableArn"),
    });
  }
}
```

Make sure there isn’t a typo in your Lambda code.
