Auth0 example and AWS API CloudWatch exception

I have a variation of the Auth0 example and am getting the following 500 error occurring attempting to hit the private endpoint on AWS (hidden by cors errors like others I’ve read about):
AuthorizerConfigurationException

My YAML file is only slightly different to the original, adding in a couple of environment variables.

service: aws-auth0-protected-endpoints

provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: nodejs4.3

functions:
  auth:
    handler: handler.auth
    environment:
      authId : ${file(env.yml):authId };
      authSecret: ${file(env.yml):authSecret };
  publicEndpoint:
    handler: handler.publicEndpoint
    events:
      - http:
          path: api/public
          method: get
          integration: lambda
          cors: true
  privateEndpoint:
    handler: handler.privateEndpoint
    events:
      - http:
          path: api/private
          method: get
          integration: lambda
          authorizer: auth
          cors:
            origins:
              - '*'
            headers:
              - Content-Type
              - X-Amz-Date
              - Authorization
              - X-Api-Key
              - X-Amz-Security-Token

The auth is pretty much the same too:

module.exports.auth = (event, context, cb) => {
  if (event.authorizationToken) {
    // remove "bearer " from token
    const token = event.authorizationToken.substring(7);
    const options = {
      audience: AUTH0_CLIENT_ID,
    };
    jwt.verify(token, AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET, options, (err, decoded) => {
      if (err) {
        console.log('Unauthorized:> ' + err)
        cb('Unauthorized');
      } else {
        console.log('Authorized:> ' + decoded.sub);
        cb(null, generatePolicy(decoded.sub, 'Allow', event.methodArn));
      }
    });
  } else {
    cb('Unauthorized');
  }
};

Cloudwatch logs show my call does actually get through the auth function. But doesn’t then call the private function.
Another mystifying thing is that the environment keys get given an additional semi-colon on upload. I need to keep going in and deleting it.

Any help on this would be great.

Don’t worry. I have this working now. I had corrupted the date in the policy version.
Still mystified by the semicolons appearing in the environment keys if anyone else has run into that.
