APIGatewayProxyRequest HttpMethod is empty

[petrogko]

Description

On aws sending request from api gateway -> lambda, HttpMethod seems to be always empty. But not just HttpMethod, anything within APIGatewayProxyRequest.
Using localstack and aws-cli while testing always produces the desired output for me. I am able to see that the request indeed is filled with wonders and provides me the necessary information. However on aws its a different story.

Lang; GoLang 1.11
OS: Mac Mojave

Desired Output

Obtaining a response with appropriate data after lambda execution because I am able to utilize request.HttpMethod.

Observed Result

Request empty; seen by output from lambda execution.

Any support would be helpful. My code is simple and not attempting anything fancy.
All I'm attempting to perform is a simple logic check.
if request.HttpMethod == "POST" { //doSomething}
if request.HttpMethod == "GET" { //doSomethingElse}

Just ran into a similar issue where my request data wasn't unmarshalling into the APIGatewayProxyRequest object. My problem was simply not having my API Gateway resource configured as a proxy resource.

hey @bguilder - thanks for responding. For me at that time, we were going with non-proxy integration. Meaning we had to define the body for our incoming requests. Strict definitions had to be in place.
But because of that, I build my own generic wrapper that would act similar to the aws-lambda-go.

Sorry for not closing this ticket. I should have updated it a while back.

This will also happen if your API Gateway is using the v2 format. In that scenario you need to use APIGatewayV2HTTPRequest instead.
