I’m working on Movie Match II
I have triple checked that my lambda function and skill id are matched, and have linked them appropriately and i’m still getting null as a JSON output.
This is my build:
{
"interactionModel": {
"languageModel": {
"invocationName": "movie match",
"intents": [
{
"name": "AMAZON.CancelIntent",
"samples": []
},
{
"name": "AMAZON.HelpIntent",
"samples": []
},
{
"name": "AMAZON.StopIntent",
"samples": []
},
{
"name": "FindMovieByGenreIntent",
"slots": [
{
"name": "genre",
"type": "MOVIE_GENRE"
}
],
"samples": [
"recommend me a {genre} movie",
"find me an {genre} movie",
"give me a {genre} movie",
"tell me an {genre} movie"
]
}
],
"types": [
{
"name": "MOVIE_GENRE",
"values": [
{
"name": {
"value": "drama",
"synonyms": [
"stage",
"dramatization",
"theatrical",
"theatre",
"play"
]
}
},
{
"name": {
"value": "horror",
"synonyms": [
"fright",
"frightening",
"fear",
"scary"
]
}
},
{
"name": {
"value": "comedy",
"synonyms": [
"comic",
"funny",
"humor",
"joke"
]
}
},
{
"name": {
"value": "action",
"synonyms": [
"battle",
"war",
"combat"
]
}
}
]
}
]
}
}
}
And this is my lambda function:
'use strict';

const SKILL_NAME = 'Movie Match';

const HELP_REPROMPT = 'You can say give me a comedy movie. You can also say - give me a horror movie. What would you like?';
const STOP_MESSAGE = '';
const movies = {
"action":[

function randomPick(arr) {
let i = 0;

return(arr[i]);
}
exports.handler = function (event, context, callback) {
const alexa = Alexa.handler(event, context, callback);
alexa.APP_ID = APP_ID;
alexa.registerHandlers(handlers);
alexa.execute();
};
, but I am not sure about this project, and have never taken it.
