Serverless - Schedule event not creating CloudWatch Events - serverless

Question

Serverless isn't creating CloudWatch Events as a trigger to a lambda. There are no warnings or errors.
functions:
aggregate:
handler: statistics.handler
events:
- schedule:
rate: rate(10 minutes)

Answer 1

Serverless' examples don't demonstrate the critical nature of the indentation. https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/events/schedule/#schedule
functions:
aggregate:
handler: statistics.handler
events:
# "- schedule:" has to start at the same indentation as the "events:" above it.
- schedule:
# The CloudWatch Events Rules have to be exactly 4 spaces indented below the "- schedule:"
rate: rate(10 minutes)
# ... other fields
Crtical:
Align - schedule: with events: above it.
Align the next row e.g. rate: rate(6 minutes) 4 spaces indented from the - schedule:
Example code:
service: my-service
provider:
name: aws
region: us-west-2
runtime: nodejs10.x
functions:
hello:
handler: handler.hello
events:
- schedule:
rate: cron(*/5 * * * ? *)
enabled: true
with
module.exports.hello = (event, context, callback) => {
console.log("Hello, world!");
callback(null);
};
Simply indenting - schedule 2 spaces like I'd expect does not create cloudwatch events in AWS. That single change of 2 spaces makes the difference between whether the cloudwatch event rule is created or not.
Note: No errors are thrown between the two indents, but it creates 6 vs. 8 AWS resources (2 missing don't create cloudwatch event rules).
