Some API gateway routes not created

Jets
1

Hi, I have some routes not getting created in the api gateway. Running the app server locally they work correctly, and they show up correctly for “jets routes”. I’m pretty sure I’m simply missing a rails convention, but havent been able to solve it yet.

Basically I have a SearchController, and want several POST requests mapped to the methods, eg “reports” go to “search#get_reports”, “categories” go to “search#get_categories”. They are API style queries, so have various parameters passed in.

What’s the convention I’m missing to have a controller have several POST handlers? Or, why might a route be skipped by “jets deploy” ?

Thanks!

Wondering what the routes.rb file looks like. May need more info to figure out what’s going on. An example app that reproduces is even better.

Thanks Tung, I’ll keep poking. Here’s my routes.rb

Update: looks like it’s the authorizer. Removing it gets the API created correctly, and there’s an error in the deploy (sorry, missed this earlier):

ERROR: Template error: instance of Fn::GetAtt references undefined resource ApplicationAuthorizer

I’ll update when I figure it out.

Jets.application.routes.draw do
  post "status", to: "search#status", authorizer: "application#protect"
  post "searchcriteria", to: "search#getSearchCriteria", authorizer: "application#protect"
  post "dbstatus", to: "search#db_status", authorizer: "application#protect"
  post "search", to: "search#search", authorizer: "application#protect"
  post "usersreports", to: "search#users_reports", authorizer: "application#protect"
  post "dealercodes", to: "search#getDealerCodes", authorizer: "application#protect"
  get "download/:id", to: "search#download", authorizer: "application#protect"
  post "user/info", to: "user#userInfo", authorizer: "application#protect"
end

RE: ERROR: Template error: instance of Fn::GetAtt references undefined resource ApplicationAuthorizer

What’s your app/authorizers/application_authorizer.rb look like? A demo repo may help.

Also, here’s a tip. You may be able to clean up the routes file by declaring the authorizer in the ApplicationController:

class ApplicationController < Jets::Controller::Base
  authorizer "application#protect"
end

Then you won’t need the authorizer on every single route. If you have some routes that don’t require the authorizer, maybe create another controller that all protected controllers inherit from. There is currently no skip_authorizer macro yet.

My authorizer:

class ApplicationAuthorizer < ApplicationAuthorizer
	authorizer(
		name: "CognitoAuthorizer", # <= name is used as the "function" name
		identity_source: "Authorization", # maps to method.request.header.Authorization
		type: :cognito_user_pools,
		provider_arns: [
			ENV['COGNITO_USER_POOL_ARN']
		]
	)
end

Good call on the class-wide authorizer. That works for me.

Ack, my mistake! My routes should have been “application#cognito_authorizer”, NOT application#protect. Doh! Thanks for checking on this Tung, really appreciated! Good tip on class-wide authorizer.
