I am using the **latest** localstack docker image to test aws s3, lambda and cloudformation locally. s3 and lambda seems to be working fine but when I call cloudformation **create-stack** api it gives me a 502 BadGateway error. This is the command I am using

`aws cloudformation create-stack \
  --template-body template.yaml \
  --stack-name cfn-test \
  --parameters ParameterKey=BucketPrefix,ParameterValue=demo-bucket \
  --endpoint-url=http://localhost:4581`

This is the error I get:
`An error occurred (502) when calling the CreateStack operation (reached max retries: 4): Bad Gateway`

From docker logs I got the following error
`2019-12-31T22:12:09:ERROR:localstack.services.generic_proxy: Error forwarding request: 'str' object has no attribute 'get' Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/code/localstack/localstack/services/generic_proxy.py", line 242, in forward

    if parsed.get('Transform') == 'AWS::Serverless-2016-10-31':
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'`

Although, when I try the **list-stacks** api it seems to be working fine
`aws --endpoint-url=http://localhost:4581 cloudformation list-stacks`

`{
    "StackSummaries": []
}`

I could not find a solution in any of the past issues or anywhere on the internet. Please assist
