Create from Part 2 of the tutorial now fails

Chapter Comments
1

Great tutorial … I have started part 2 of the tutorial but after I deployed the code I noticed that create returns:

serverless invoke local --function create --path mocks/create-event.json
{
    "statusCode": 500,
    "headers": {
        "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
        "Access-Control-Allow-Credentials": true
    },
    "body": "{\"status\":false}"
}

I added logging to catch the error and it looks like an issue with finding the dynamodb resource. I’ve been reading a lot of the threads and have seen similar issues but can’t seem to narrow down whats going on here. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

Ok self solved … I made a mistake in this section:

A very silly mistake … I was placing the process.env.tableName inside quotes. Sorry for the false alarm!
