alexa-skill-local's Issues

Error with new ASK-SDK-Core

when trying to use the new sdk 2.0 i get the following error, that appears to be coming from the lambda function

Debugger problem

Hi. I 'm trying to start alexa-skill-local with visual studio code and debug but i have no luck.
I have followed this tutorial
https://medium.com/@akshay.milmile/alexa-skill-with-nodejs-part-iii-rapid-development-tools-f98294040431

but when i click on play i don't see the right nodejs process from the list.
Instead if i start "alexa-skill-local" from the terminal, and then click play inside visual studio code, i see "Debugger attached" from terminal but the breakpoints are not triggered.
