Resource handler returned message: "The REST API doesn't contain any methods

Question

Hello, I get this error from my Cloudformation when try to create a multiple deployment stages for my RestAPI.

Error OutPut:

> Resource handler returned message: "The REST API doesn't contain any methods (Service: ApiGateway, Status Code: 400, Request ID: 0041fbd4-40b8-45f0-82ea-548ec54fc50c)" (RequestToken: fb35e5d7-1ee6-d3e0-8d05-1d7ec51e83bf, HandlerErrorCode: InvalidRequest)

Sample Template used

```
 APIProdDeployment:
    Type: AWS::ApiGateway::Deployment
    Properties:
      RestApiId: !Ref RestAPI

APITestDeployment:
    Type: AWS::ApiGateway::Deployment
    Properties:
      RestApiId: !Ref RestAPI

```

Accepted Answer

Hi,

you will need to add a dependency on the methods.

> If you create an AWS::ApiGateway::RestApi resource and its methods (using AWS::ApiGateway::Method) in the same template as your deployment, the deployment must depend on the `RestApi`'s methods. To create a dependency, add a `DependsOn` attribute to the deployment. If you don't, AWS CloudFormation creates the deployment right after it creates the `RestApi` resource that doesn't contain any methods, and AWS CloudFormation encounters the following error: `The REST API doesn't contain any methods.`
