DyanmoDB getItem not providing any response within Async Lambda
I have been trying to make a getItem request in an async Lambda function to dynamo DB, and I am not receiving any response at all. Any troubleshooting or help would be greatly appreciated.
in general, I am trying to make a request to a dynamodb table using the AWS SDK getItem, however, when I run my code there is no response for the await ddb.getItem function
so I am kinda lost as to what could be causing this.
// Load AWS SDK const AWS = require("aws-sdk"); // Set the region AWS.config.update({ region: "us-east-1" }); // Create the DyanmoDB service object const ddb = new AWS.DynamoDB({ apiVersion: "2012-08-10" }); const handler = async ( event, context, callback, test = false, testObjFunc = { test: () => { Error("Testing enabled"); } } ) => { const response = { isBase64Encoded: false, statusCode: 200, headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json", "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*" }, multiValueHeaders: {}, body: JSON.stringify({ responseBody }) }; try { // Parameters for DynamodDB getItem call const dbParams = { TableName: "Table_Name", Key: { personID: { S: "value" } }, ProjectionExpression: "value_to_return" }; // DynamoDB call to check for item const results = await ddb.getItem(dbParams).promise(); console.log("success"); console.log(results); } catch (error) { response.statusCode = 500; } return response; }; module.exports.handler = handler; 
You have put the getitem call in try block, as you are not receiving any response means something is gone wrong in the try block.
