664 PointsCaptureError in Alexa Skill not letting me publish
Hi! Having some issues with the Alexa Skill Kit course. I followed all the steps, slightly edited my definitions.JSON and responses.JSON with custom content, but still receiving errors.
Testing in the Alexa Developer Console and receiving Error "There was a problem with the requested skill's response"
Further, looking into it: payload": { "skillId": "amzn1.ask.skill.da9e00c2-c8cd-458c-8988-0f1a773f9d1d", "timestamp": "2019-04-28T23:39:41.858Z", "dialogRequestId": "747e552e-ba0e-45bc-8ab6-7f9069049ee3", "skillRequestId": "amzn1.echo-api.request.bd5a0527-a4e1-4015-b9f2-6ee860c8cb7c", "code": "SKILL_ENDPOINT_ERROR", "description": "Skill execution returned an exception for requestId amzn1.echo-api.request.bd5a0527-a4e1-4015-b9f2-6ee860c8cb7c",
In addition, when I attempt to to "functionally test", I receive this message as well: "The skill must respond without error when the example phrases associated with the skill are used. One or more of the example phrases returned an error response when tested."
I set everything up correctly, maybe there's something wrong with my code, but I doubt it. I can post the code if necessary, but I appreciate the help! Thanks :)
