Alexa Simulator: Ensure compatibility with the new Testing Beta interface

krunchness opened this issue · comments

Hello Tom,

i have a problem on the utterance or invocation of the skill under development in Alexa Simulator
When asking alexa and using the invocation it says "There was a problem with the requested skill's response" .

See attached :

invocation
settings
test simulator

Thanks!

Note for others viewing this: We discussed the issue in other channels, looks like it's specific to the new Testing Beta interface. Will be looking into for during the next release of the plugin, but everything still works without issue using the regular testing interface (rather than the Beta)

Regarding this i found that the Alexa Simulator beta's return of "applicationID" was not matched on the current skill when invocation was triggered.

test-simulator
test-simulator-2

And on the regular testing interface ( old testing ) where it was working fine . it returns the correct applicationID

old-test-simulator

Interesting, thanks for digging in further on this :)

Note for future viewers: Issue in this case was that user created two skills for the same endpoint, thus they both had different ID's, and the skill being tested was not the one which had the amazon app ID associated to the WordPress app.

Additional :

The two skills had the same invocation name .

Thanks tom! :)
