QUESTION

Alexa Test Response does not contain outputSpeech

Asked 2017-May-02 at 06:56

I'm new to Alexa, and have followed the airportinfo tutorial and I have copied the code from github https://github.com/bignerdranch/alexa-airportinfo and when i test it using npm and input an airport code e.g. SFO, Theres no "outputSpeech:" and i tried making a similar skill with the same issue, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have both index.js and FAADataInfo.js Thanks in advance for your help.

The alexa-app version that the tutorial is using is out of date. When using the latest alexa-app npm version (4.0.0), the return value for the .intent() function should be a Promise and not a boolean if you are running asynchronous functions.

In your index.js, add:

return faaHelper.getAirportStatus(....) {}.catch(){}

and remove the return false; after the catch.

Here's the full skill.intent() code

QUESTION

Networking issue with alexa-app and request-promise

Asked 2017-Apr-11 at 20:35

I have to be missing something really simple here, but here goes.

I am just now starting to learn Alexa development, and found the alexa-app module which seems to make Alexa programming really straight-forward - except for this networking issue I'm running into.

I'm walking through the sample app provided by the team called AirportInfo. The code for the problem area is below:

I don't understand everything about Promises with regard to Alexa, but I did get this figured out. From the date of your question, there are newer versions of alexa-app-server (3.0.1) and alexa-app (4.0.0) available. I recently developed a skill using these versions. alexa-app 2, the version mentioned in alexa-airportinfo, doesn't work with the latest alexa-app-server.

So, first thing to do is to use the latest alexa-app in your code. Then, realize that by virtue of using request-promise in FAADataHelper, the code is returning a Promise back to index.js. For this to work you need to return that Promise, instead of the false at the end of the function.

To sum up, I got the latest alexa-app-server, changed the alexa-app version in the airportinfo to the latest, and ran it, getting the same result you did - the response comes back before the rp requests are done. When I changed the code to below, I got the desired result - the requests were done, then the response finished with the speech in.
