serverless: function doesn't exist in this service

Question

In serverless i have the following directory structure for my functions:

serverless.yml
functions -
    stories -
        create.js
        get.js

my serverless.yml then looks like this:

functions:
  stories:
    create:
      handler: functions/stories/create.main
      events:
        - http:
          path: stories/create
          method: post
          cors: true
          authorizer: aws_iam
    get:
      handler: functions/stories/get.main
      events:
        - http:
          path: stories/{id}
          method: get
          cors: true
          authorizer: aws_iam

however when i run a test to check the create: serverless invoke local --function create --path mocks/create-event.json i get the following error:

Serverless Error ---------------------------------------

  Function "create" doesn't exist in this Service

I managed to get one function working that looks like this:

functions:
  stories:
    handler: functions/stories/create.main
    events:
      - http:
        path: stories/create
        method: post
        cors: true
        authorizer: aws_iam

Since i added the get function, i decided i needed to add the create and get parts after stories, but no matter how i change the handler the functions never seem to exist.

I've tried changing the path to functions/stories/create/create.main with no difference, is there anything obvious i'm missing to allow multiple handlers within the same location?

I was looking at the following example, which uses one folder of "todos" which contains multiple functions, but i can't see any obvious difference between it and mine, except i've added an extra folder.

Your template is invalid. You can't just put your function under an arbitrary node to tell the framework that it applies to some object of your app. Your stories: node should be a comment.

Try something like this:

functions:
    # Stories related functions
    createStory:
      handler: functions/stories/create.main
      events:
        - http:
            path: stories   # You can post directly to stories to be more RESTful
            method: post
            cors: true
            authorizer: aws_iam
    getStory:
      handler: functions/stories/get.main
      events:
        - http:
            path: stories/{id}
            method: get
            cors: true
            authorizer: aws_iam

     # More examples to understand the routing
    getAllStories:
      handler: functions/stories/getAll.main # Returns a list of all stories
      events:
        - http:
            path: stories
            method: get
            cors: true
            authorizer: aws_iam
    deleteStory:
      handler: functions/stories/delete.main # Deletes a story
      events:
        - http:
            path: stories/{id}
            method: delete
            cors: true
            authorizer: aws_iam
