Creating an Alexa skill using the ASK CLI and the ASK SDK 2.0 - Dabble Lab #62

have you done a video on device address api??... If not, can you , that would be very helpful

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: quoteHelper.getQuote.then is not a function................ why is this popping up in my temp.js...... i followed the tut

I followed this video step by step, and the skill wasn't able to work. I was able to deploy it to the Alexa console, but it wouldn't test. I tried testing the lambda function manually, and the error message I get is "await is only valid in async function". How would I be able to get around this? Should I just not use async functions?

thanks for these really helpful videos. I recently commented about the bad/reverby sound quality of your voice recording - you probably remember... What's even more annoying for my ears is that boomy bass sound when you are hammering on your keyboard :) You shouldn't put your mic directly where your keyboard is or decouple it from the desk with foam or something. It's always a good idea to put a mic on a studio boom arm that you can apply to your desk - something like the Rode PSA-1 for example (there are cheaper alternatives, though. Just be sure that it has enough strength to hold you blue yeti mic)

Hi Steve, you mention that you have a tutorial on configuring ASK CLI, do you mind sharing a link, if you have? I am trying to set up a dev environment for ASK CLI, node.js and vs code. Thanks!

This was pretty interesting Steve. Thank you for posting great, updated content. Quick question:

Do you have to deploy the whole skill every time you want to test a change on your lambda or is there a way to just deploy the backend code without having to rebuild everything? I know there's a "ask lambda upload" command in the guide, but I'm not sure that's the one we'd need to use in this case.

I don't alway change the Interaction Model and I don't see the point in deploying it and rebuilding everything if I just added a console.log() or some small change like that to the lambda function.

In case you haven't heard the latest news: The ASK CLI now supports Alexa Skills created in Python! To get started, you must update the ASK CLI command (I would just re-install it) then when you type ask new, it will ask if you wanna use Node JS V8 or Python3 for the runtime. The version that supports this new feature is 1.5.0

really appreciate the tutorial Steve!

Can anybody help out with the following error: Hook scripts failed. This comes up when I try to upload my skill through cli.

Hi, does anyone know how to let alexa keep one app open, so user don't need to always say "alexa open xxx " or "ask xxx to ..." first to name the actual command. Thanks!

Thanks, Steve, really appreciate this and all other tutorials you made, they are super helpful!!

Are you guys going to be adding any more videos to this series, it has been very helpful!
