Configure lambda schedule event issue

Serverless Framework
1

I’m trying to configure scheduled event for my lambda like this:

myLambda:
  handler: ####
  description: ####
  events:
    - schedule:
      rate: rate(24 hours)

when I try to deploy it there is no error message, yet the rule is not created.
It works though if I do it like this:

myLambda:
  handler: ####
  description: ####
  events:
    - schedule: rate(24 hours)

The problem is I can’t specify the name or description for the rule.
Does anybody knows why former approach doesn’t work?
I tried to do it with different SLS versions from 1.4.0 to 1.8.0 with the same result.
Thanks!

It’s hard to tell with your message - can you please wrap your code samples with four backticks (like “````” ) so that we can see the exact whitespacing used? The most common cause of silent failures is the whitespace being wrong.

Thanks! Is it better now?

Much!

Yep, looks like you’re missing a level of indentation on the rate line. I should look like:

myLambda:
  handler: ####
  description: ####
  events:
    - schedule:
        rate: rate(24 hours)

Great! That worked! Thanks a lot!
Didn’t realise indentation was that important
