I have a AWS SAM template that I'm trying to test locally and then deploy. The local test runs (sam local start-api) but the payload is not validated. This means that I have a RequestValidator in place, but it does not validate a thing.

Then, I try to deploy the YAML file to AWS to test there, and I get an error that reads:

"Failed to create the changeset: Waiter ChangeSetCreateComplete
failed: Waiter encountered a terminal failure state Status: FAILED.
Reason: Transform AWS::Serverless-2016-10-31 failed with: Invalid
Serverless Application Specification document. Number of errors found:
1. Resource with id [BoilerPlateFunction] is invalid. Event with id [ApiEvent] is invalid. RestApiId property of Api event must reference
a valid resource in the same template."

This is my yaml file, so first I want to be able to make the RequestValidator work in my local and once that is done, to know what I'm doing wrong and why I can't deploy:

AWSTemplateFormatVersion: '2010-09-09'

Transform: AWS::Serverless-2016-10-31

  Sample SAM Template for sam-app



Globals:

  Function:

    Timeout: 20

Parameters:

  operationName:

    Type: String

    Default: testoperationName

  restApiName:

    Type: String

    Default: testrestApiName

  validatorName:

    Type: String

    Default: testvalidatorName

  validateRequestBody:

    Type: String

    Default: testvalidateRequestBody

  validateRequestParameters:

    Type: String

    Default: true

Resources:

  BoilerPlateApi:

    Type: AWS::ApiGateway::Api

    Properties:

      Name: !Ref restApiName

  BoilerPlateFunctionMethod:

    Type: AWS::ApiGateway::Method

    Properties:

      HttpMethod: ANY

      RestApiId: !Ref BoilerPlateApi

      RequestValidatorId: !Ref RequestValidator

      RequestParameters:

        method.request.querystring.test: true

  RequestValidator:

    Type: AWS::ApiGateway::RequestValidator

    Properties:

      Name: !Ref validatorName

      RestApiId: !Ref BoilerPlateApi

      ValidateRequestParameters: !Ref validateRequestParameters

  BoilerPlateFunction:

    Type: AWS::Serverless::Function

    Properties:

      CodeUri: boilerplate/apiName

      Handler: index.handler

      Runtime: nodejs8.10

      Events:

        ApiEvent:

          Type: Api

          Properties:

            RestApiId: !Ref BoilerPlateApi

            Path: /hello

            Method: GET

So again, that runs using sam local start-api, I can hit the endpoint and the Lambda is executed. But I expect the API gateway to throw an error if I don't include the "test" parameter in the query string, but it does not, it let it go through.

Thanks guys!
