When using an inline swagger, api+method+path authorizers do not get added

[georgealton]

Description: My expectation was that when using the Auth functionality in SAM against an API and Function, when no default authorizer is configured then the Authorizer would be assigned against the Functions path

I've also noticed that when using a Default Authorizer, all methods on the API get the Authorizer assigned, configuring NONE authorizer against an API Event does not prevent the authorizer getting assigned.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

Given a SAM Template that includes a an inline swagger document, an Authorizer and Auth configured on the DELETE and POST events

Deploy this SAM Template

sam package --template-file template.yaml --s3-bucket "${S3_BUCKET}" > template-export.yaml
sam deploy --template-file template-export.yaml --stack-name "${STACK_NAME}" --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM

Observed result: No Authorizers are assigned to any of the methods

Expected result: My expectation was that the GET Methods on the path / and /{id} would not have an authorizer assigned, but POST / and DELETE /{id} do not have authorizer assigned

We plan on adding a feature to merge your defined Swagger with the generated Swagger from SAM. This should resolve this issue also.

[bonybrown]

A workaround exists where if the name of the Authorizer defined in the SAM template matches the name of a securityDefinitions in the swagger document, AND the endpoint refers to that named security definition, then the correct authorizer will be assigned to the endpoint.

This is often what is desired, because if you have security requirements for the endpoint, you probably want to define them (as best you can) in the swagger doc.

SAM snippet below:

  myApi:
    Type: AWS::Serverless::Api

      EndpointConfiguration: REGIONAL
      StageName: master

        paths:
          "/sayHello":
            get:
              operationId: hello
              description: Says "Hello"
              produces:
              - text/html
              responses:
                '200':
                  description: OK
                default:
                  description: Error
              security:
              - keyAuth: [] # refers to security definition in this swagger doc
              x-amazon-apigateway-integration:
                uri: !Sub arn:aws:apigateway:${AWS::Region}:lambda:path/2015-03-31/functions/${Function.Arn}/invocations
                httpMethod: POST
                type: aws_proxy
        securityDefinitions:
          keyAuth: #matches name of Auth/Authorizer defined on the Api
            description: Authentication will be performed using a custom authenticator
            type: apiKey
            name: Authorization
            in: header
      Auth:
        Authorizers:
          keyAuth: # Name of this authorizer; becomes the name of the authorizer in API Gateway console
            Identity:
              Headers:
              - Authorization
              ReauthorizeEvery: 600
            FunctionPayloadType: REQUEST
            FunctionArn: !Ref CustomAuthArn

The result of the above is that the authorizer is created with expected properties in the API, and the endpoint is configured to use that authorizer.

Untested are the effects of setting the Serverless::Function/Events/Auth/Authorizer to NONE or setting the DefaultAuthorizer property on the Serverless::Api/Auth/Authorizers

This solution worked perfectly for me. Thank you!

Consider the following example, when custom swagger definition is commented out, the API resource has custom authorizer configured. When the comments are removed, it seems that we ignore the generated swagger definition and use custom swagger definition, which caused this problem.

Introducing MergeDefinitions property in AWS::Serverless::Api. This property is default to False. Setting this property to True will allow the following:

Merge SAM generated swagger definition into inline swagger definition if a specific API+Path+Method is defined both in SAM API and API event source:
        - for a conflicting key, use SAM generated value
        - otherwise include key-value pairs from both definitions
