Hey @DronNick , thanks for raising the issue. To investigate this better, can you provide the skill id and the exact reproduction steps you tried? Also, are you trying to use the simulator on the same profile that you created/cloned the skill? |

Hello @nikhilym , I use simulator on the same profile.
{
"askToolkitResourcesVersion": "2020-04-15",
"profiles": {
"default": {
"skillId": "amzn1.ask.skill.a7c7d3a8-1a49-48bc-a0ea-bd7395c476d8",
"skillInfrastructure": {
"type": "@ask-cli/hosted-skill-deployer"
}
}
}
}Steps to reproduce Deploy skill: Test skill=>Open simulator=> Type invocation and intent (the same string worked before): Talk to Alexa screen shows It seems to be a timeout issue - after a while it stops to work and output of the "ASK Toolkit" shows only How can i see Lambda function logs? |

Hey @DronNick , you are right. It looks like the invocation failed from the service side and the toolkit is timing out expecting a response. I will check with the service team regarding this skill invocation. To make sure this is a service side issue instead of the toolkit, can you check through developer console or through |

Hey @DronNick , just checking back if you were able to get this working. Please let us know. Thanks. |

Hello @nikhilym , i figured out - it was an issue with the lambda function, it was not starting at all because of the missing modules (deploying failed silently because of yarn module problem). It was only visible in the CloudWatch Logs. I expected that Alexa Skills Toolkit shows this log in the VS Code console. Otherwise what is the purpose of the simulator, if i can not see any error messages localy? |

@DronNick thanks for the update and sorry for the inconvenience. Glad you got it working.
You are right, the local simulator should try and retrieve the exact error messages as we do in the web simulator. However, since we use the skill simulation API to get the skill simulation details, it looks like the service is not sending us the correct information regarding these errors. We will check with the team about this. Alternatively, we will also check with the hosted skills team if we can get the links for the cloud watch logs for hosted skills, so that we can include it in the skill actions pane. I logged the feature request #61 . Please add any missing information or any other context to that issue. Thanks. |
