AWS SAM "No response from invoke container for" wrong function name

Question

I've debugged my application, and identified a problem. I have 2 REST API Gateway, and it seems like since they both bind on the same endpoint, the first one will recieve the call that the second one should handle.

Here's my template.yaml

```yaml
Resources:
  mysampleapi1: 
    Type: 'AWS::Serverless::Function'
    Properties:
      Handler: packages/mysampleapi1/dist/index.handler
      Runtime: nodejs14.x
      CodeUri: .
      Description: ''
      MemorySize: 1024
      Timeout: 30
      Role: >-
        arn:aws:iam:: [PRIVATE]
      Events:
        Api1:
          Type: Api
          Properties:
            Path: /users
            Method: ANY
      Environment:
        Variables:
          NODE_ENV: local
      Tags:
        STAGE: local
  mysampleapi2:
    Type: 'AWS::Serverless::Function'
    Properties:
      Handler: packages/mysampleapi2/dist/index.handler
      Runtime: nodejs14.x
      CodeUri: .
      Description: ''
      MemorySize: 1024
      Timeout: 30
      Role: >-
        arn:aws:iam:: [PRIVATE]
      Events:
        Api1:
          Type: Api
          Properties:
            Path: /wallet
            Method: ANY
      Environment:
        Variables:
          NODE_ENV: local
      Tags:
        STAGE: local
```

When I send a HTTP request for ```mysampleapi2```

Here's what's happening in the logs using the startup command

sam local start-api --port 3001 --log-file /tmp/server-output.log --profile personal --debug

```log
2022-04-27 18:2:34,953 | Mounting /home/mathieu_auclair/Documents/Project/repositories/server as /var/task:ro,delegated inside runtime container
2022-04-27 18:20:35,481 | Starting a timer for 30 seconds for function 'mysampleapi1'
2022-04-27 18:21:05,484 | Function 'mysampleapi1' timed out after 30 seconds

2022-04-27 18:21:46,733 | Invalid lambda response received: Lambda response must be valid json
```
Why is my ```mysampleapi2``` not picking the HTTP call? If I run them in separate template files using different ports, then it works... why is that?

Accepted Answer

Hello,

it looks like in the logs you're invoking the function `mysampleapi1` possibly. However it appears that its still having a function timeout.

I tested creating a scenario where my function would timeout, and I received the same type of error message. So two things may be occuring here:

- you may be invoking the incorrect API
- your Lambda function may be timing out

Granted it may be something entirely else occurring such as it could be something specific to Docker. If you can, mind sharing this issue on the AWS SAM CLI Github repo? The developers over there come across many types of issues with using the SAM CLI and may be able to quickly find a solution outside of the items I mentioned above.
