500 error on running serverless invoke local

[quantuminformation]

When running

$ serverless invoke local --function create --path mocks/create-event.json
from
https://serverless-stack.com/chapters/add-a-create-note-api.html

I get

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

I added a log and get:
{ UnrecognizedClientException: The security token included in the request is invalid.

@quantuminformation Are you using multiple AWS credentials? Or do you have multiple credentials? This usually happens in that case.

[quantuminformation]

Yeah I have 2 profiles:

same error even with --profile personal

@quantuminformation The serverless invoke local command does not support the --profile option.

Did you specify the profile in your serverless.yml?

[quantuminformation]

Yup , get same error:

   [7] external "babel-runtime/core-js/json/stringify" 42 bytes {0} [not cacheable]
{ UnrecognizedClientException: The security token included in the request is invalid.

provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs6.10
  stage: prod
  region: eu-west-2
  profile: personal

and in ~/.aws/credentials:

[personal]
aws_access_key_id

for some reasons image uploads dont work

[jayair]

@quantuminformation Do these credentials have access to the DynamoDB that was previously created?

[quantuminformation]

[ Personal ] IAM user has the admin policy on this account.

Does invoke local do anything to the live AWS account and data?

[jayair]

@quantuminformation It invokes your Lambda function locally but any resources used inside it are the ones on live.

I'm going to test the react app against the api, sls deploy worked

[luanau]

Had this same problem. Changed region to my real ones in serverless.yml and create.js

I also am seeing this error or something very similar. I tried to go ahead and deploy the serverless package and got the same error with Webpack. I'll keep digging, but wanted to post the issue I'm seeing.

@dougharling You can debug these by adding a console.log like so - https://serverless-stack.com/chapters/add-a-create-note-api.html#common-issues

1. click on your username on top nav, My Security Credentials
2. Click on Access Key Tab, Create New, copy the key and secret.
3. in terminal, run $ aws configure and use the new key and secret.
4. Run the command again: serverless invoke local --function create --path mocks/create-event.json

[iamsaurabhc]

Yup , get same error:

   [7] external "babel-runtime/core-js/json/stringify" 42 bytes {0} [not cacheable]
{ UnrecognizedClientException: The security token included in the request is invalid.

provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs6.10
  stage: prod
  region: eu-west-2
  profile: personal

and in ~/.aws/credentials:

[personal]
aws_access_key_id

for some reasons image uploads dont work

Found the following steps to be the solution to the exact problem -

1. Remove the current aws config and credentials by : sudo rm ~/.aws/config and sudo rm ~/.aws/credentials
2. Recreate an access key for the User, from the IAM Console
3. Reconfigure your AWS CLI with aws configure and make sure you put the correct region

Worked for me!

I had this error. It was because I forgot to create the table in DynamoDB
