Fail to enable CORS for API Gateway functions

Question

I get

While attempting to enable CORS on API Gateway, why is that and how do I resolve this? These functions are deployed using AWS SAM. But I notice if I create my own APIs via AWS Console this happens too

The errors looks like:

• invalid model name specified application/json=Empty
• invalid response status code specified

---

I found I seem to need to add an "Empty" response model myself?

---

Now, I get

Add Access-Control-Allow-Origin Integration Response Header Mapping to POST method (invalid response status code specified)

How do I resolve this?

Hi. Did you get the answer for 'Add Access-Control-Allow-Origin Integration Response Header Mapping to POST method (invalid response status code specified)'? If so, can you share it with me?

Thanks.

Firstly please select your root resource and select "Enable CORS". It will enable CORS to all methods. Ideally it should work. If in case it doesn't work Please add an empty json in the response as I have marked in the screenshot attached. I believe you don't have any default response header added in your OPTIONS method response (in Method Response ). Please refer screenshot
