Go Lang Error - "Proxy Handler could not detect JSON: Serverless"

[JimLynchCodes]

Hi, I created a new project like this (INSIDE OF GOPATH/src!!!!):

serverless create -t aws-go-dep -p myservice

I go into it and run make

cd myservice

here is my file in hello/main.go:

package main

import (
    "bytes"
    "context"
    "encoding/json"

    "github.com/aws/aws-lambda-go/events"
    "github.com/aws/aws-lambda-go/lambda"
)

// Response is of type APIGatewayProxyResponse since we're leveraging the
// AWS Lambda Proxy Request functionality (default behavior)
//
// https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/events/apigateway/#lambda-proxy-integration
type Response events.APIGatewayProxyResponse

// Handler is our lambda handler invoked by the `lambda.Start` function call
func Handler(ctx context.Context) (Response, error) {
    var buf bytes.Buffer

    body, err := json.Marshal(map[string]interface{}{
        "message": "Go Serverless v1.0! Your function executed successfully!",
    })
    if err != nil {
        return Response{StatusCode: 404}, err
    }
    json.HTMLEscape(&buf, body)

    resp := Response{
        StatusCode:      200,
        IsBase64Encoded: false,
        Body:            buf.String(),
        Headers: map[string]string{
            "Content-Type":           "application/json",
            "X-MyCompany-Func-Reply": "hello-handler",
        },
    }

    return resp, nil
}

func main() {
    lambda.Start(Handler)
}

I then run serverless offline:

sls offline start --port 5001

It seems to start up fine:

Serverless: Starting Offline: dev/us-east-1.

Serverless: Routes for hello:
Serverless: GET /hello
Serverless: POST /{apiVersion}/functions/myservice-dev-hello/invocations

Serverless: Routes for world:
Serverless: GET /world
Serverless: POST /{apiVersion}/functions/myservice-dev-world/invocations

Serverless: Offline [HTTP] listening on http://localhost:5001
Serverless: Enter "rp" to replay the last request

Then I try to call to the GET endpoint at http://localhost:5001/help

but I get the error:

Also, My serverless.yml then looks like this:
