When trying to deploy an app i keep getting the error in the console:

`The CloudFormation template is invalid: Template error: every Fn::GetAtt object requires two non-empty parameters, the resource name and the resource attribute`

This is the first time for me to try a serverless framework, and other than the comments under the `iam`, im not sure they are correct. just got if somewhere online.

This is my serverless.yml file:

```auto
org: testuser
app: aws-k
service: aws-k
frameworkVersion: '3'

provider:
  name: aws
  runtime: python3.9
  stage: V1

  httpApi:
    cors: true

    role:
      statements:
        - Effect: Allow
          Action:
            - dynamodb:* # Allow all dynamodb actions (optional to be specific)
          Resource:
            Fn::GetAtt: # Hooks the Lambdas IAM role with the dynamodb tables
              - HHHs 
              - GWs
              # - TestTable
              - Arn

    handler: handler.hello

            AttributeType: N
        KeySchema:

            KeyType: HASH

```
