API Gateway REST API Request Body Validations

Serverless Framework
,
1

Referencing this post and the Serverless docs, I’ve appeared to have configured request body validation correctly in my serverless template (and verified as much in the AWS API Gateway dashboard), however, the request body validations I’ve configured are not firing.

API settings in my root serverless.yml are as follows:

provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs18.x
  region: us-west-2
  profile: myApplication
  environment: 
    LOGGING_SVC_FUNC: !Sub myApplication-api-gateway-${sls:stage}-loggingService
    MOESIF_APP_ID: ${param:moesif-app-id}
    # ${file(env.${sls:stage}.json)}
  apiName: myApplication-api-gateway-${sls:stage}
  endpointType: EDGE
  logs:
    restApi:
      accessLogging: true
      executionLogging: false
      format: '{"apiId": "$context.apiId","requestId": "$context.requestId","requestTime": "$context.requestTime","protocol": "$context.protocol","httpMethod": "$context.httpMethod","resourcePath": "$context.path","requestHostHeader": "$context.domainName","requestUserAgentHeader": "$context.identity.userAgent","ip": "$context.identity.sourceIp","status": "$context.status","responseLength": "$context.responseLength","durationMs": "$context.responseLatency","caller": "$context.identity.caller","user": "$context.authorizer.client_id","principalId": "$context.authorizer.principalId","cognitoIdentityId": "$context.identity.cognitoIdentityId","userArn": "$context.identity.userArn","apiKey": "$context.identity.apiKey","apiKeyId": "$context.identity.apiKeyId"}'
  apiGateway:
    binaryMediaTypes: 
      - '*/*'
    apiKeySourceType: AUTHORIZER
    description: myApplication partner API
    disableDefaultEndpoint: true

While my actual validation model varies from this, the request body validation fails even when using the following template or templates pulled directly from AWS’ site:

	
{
  "definitions": {},
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
  "type": "object",
  "title": "The Root Schema",
  "required": [
    "username"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "username": {
      "type": "string",
      "title": "The Foo Schema",
      "default": "",
      "pattern": "^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$"
    }
  }
}

Note that I am using a custom lambda authorizer and the custom access logging as defined above.

Anyone else experiencing this issue? Thanks much.
