I have downloaded the Alexa Skills online tutorial found at:
https://github.com/amzn/alexa-skills-kit-js/blob/master/samples/reindeerGames/src/index.js
and followed (I think) all of the instructions in the tutorial found at:
https://developer.amazon.com/public/community/post/TxDJWS16KUPVKO/New-Alexa-Skills-Kit-Template-Build-a-Trivia-Skill-in-under-an-Hour
This is meant to be a tutorial for first time Alexa Skills developers. My question is, I get this error message once I hit the "Save and Test" button:
errorMessage": "Exception: TypeError: Cannot read property 'application' of undefined"
Does anyone know what the above error means or how to get rid of it?
Thanks v much.
This looks like a javascript error telling you that you are trying to use a property named application on an undefined variable.
JavaScript assigns the value "undefined" to any variable that you use but haven't set yet.
There are a several ways that you can debug problems in your Lambdas. Perhaps the easiest is to review the Logs. To do this:
Go to the Lambda console (where you upload your code to Lambda)
Select the Monitoring tab
Select "View logs in CloudWatch" (in the upper right)
Review the latest log, looking for a reported error in one of your files (typically index.js) and specifically the line number. That should help you find the error.
Note that the time stamps will be GMT, so probably won't match your actual time. This can be confusing if you have multiple entries. But the minutes should match, helping you verify that you're looking at the correct log entry.
A more advanced, and quicker way to debug Lambda problems, is the include a "test" request, and run this each time you upload code to Lambda.
To set this up:
Run one of your defined utterances in the ASK test page under the "Service Simulator" section.
Copy the code displayed below that in the "Lambda Request" section.
Now switch to the Lambda console for your Lambda function
Click the down arrow in the Actions button and select "Configure test event"
Paste the request you copied above into the text field
Click Save and Test.
Now each time you upload new code to Lambda, you can select "Test" and the request that you just saved will be run.
And best of all, the console log will be displayed in the lower right corner, saving you from having to switch to the logs and refresh to view them.

I am using CCS to program a MSPFR6989 and I’ve debugged and the code is working but I can’t get variables or registers to come up. It remains blank. enter image description here
use double click onto your variables and choose watch expression. You can find your variables under expression from now. If it shows you its name but a red error message try step by step debugging, works for me everytime.
I would like to know where is this error code located in the AOT. Would like to know the path to understand the structure and develop custom code.
Transaction has been selected, for settlement, although settlement type: none was selected
I generally use one of two methods to locate message strings.
Provided the cross reference is updated (it should be in dev) use the "Label editor" to to search for then string, see this answer.
Put a breakpoint in top of info.add method, disable CIL if needed, then rerun to get the error message invoking the debugger, see this answer.
This error message keeps showing everytime I test the game:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
SetupLocalPlayer.Start () (at Assets/Scripts/SetupLocalPlayer.cs:12)
and I'm trying to figure out how to enable my Wheeldrive script when I am the local player (When I spawn in) and it doesn't seem to be working, The Network Id is on the player prefab but the controller script is on the Sedan gameobject, since the Network identity is on the player prefab the disable script also has to go on it, so I don't think the script is able to find the controller script since its not on the same Gameobject. (Picture Below)
Any help is really appreciated :)
The Project + Code Picture
If the SetupLocalPlayer script is on the player prefab, You should be able to find the WheelDrive component using GetComponentInChildren<WheelDrive>() instead of GetComponent<WheelDrive>() (in line 12 of the SetupLocalPlayer.cs file)
Because the WheelDrive component is not enabled, GetComponent is unable to find it. Thus GetComponent<WheelDrive>() returns null, and you get the error in the console.
Can anyone tell me how to keep a simple log of errors and warnings thrown during sourcing of code in R? Specifically I want to write them to an object during sourcing so I can print them into a message after execution in case the user missed it as the lines scrolled by.
Background: I wrote a small data validation program, about 600 lines, that allows the user to select an excel file which will be automatically imported, processed, and exported again. I tried hard to include automatic checks in the code (such as checking for required column names and throwing a pop up box if not present), but am aware that I can't think of every possible error that could occur, especially with other users. What I would like is to have every error/warning/etc. that occurs during sourcing to be written to an object that I could then call later such as in a pop up box. I have been able to figure out every step except for creating the error log.
ErrorLog <- (code for collecting errors/warnings here)
(Program Code - already completed)
ErrorPopUp <- tkmessageBox(title = "ERRORS", message = paste("
Please note the following errors/warnings occurred during file processing:
",
ErrorLog ,
"To proceed and export file please press OK. To exit the program without
saving, please press cancel."), icon = "warning", type = "okcancel")
(code to continue and export or quit)
I appreciate any ideas, and thx for the patience as I saw many posts on advanced topics such as creating your own error messages or sending them to windows, but none for simply writing an object listing them.
I'm getting the following error when I try to run an ASP.Net page. It just popped up during development, and I don't know what the cause is.
"OverflowException Occurred. Value was either too large or too small for an Int32."
The line the debugger breaks on is of absolutely no help at all
Dim ApproxDate As TextBox = FormView1.FindControl("CurrentResultDateTextBox")
The error is occurring on this line because calling findControl on FormView1 causes it to databind (executes a SQL query to return the dataset). I assume the error lies somewhere in one of the object data sources or possibly one of the grid views on the page, but the debugger won't tell me where. Most of the page data sources are bound declaratively (specified in ASP tags in the source)
Pressing F11 to run past the exception displays the following:
"13712696100373320501120906 is not a valid value for Int32."
The value being shown here is the primary key for the main SQL table used by the page. There are about 10 data sources which use this field. Again, there's no indication of where exactly the error is occurring.
So how can I debug an error like this? Are there commands I can run? IIS error logs? 3rd party software to capture the error? I'll take anything I can get
Managed to find the problem. The trick is to first disable "just my code" in the IDE/Debug settings. Then you can see the system functions on the call stack, and while there is no source code, you can click on these functions to unwind the stack to one of the web controls (in this case the ListControl.PerformSelect function)
If you check the auto variables in the debug window, it will show the control involved in the error. From there I added a watch on the ID property to see which control it was, looked up the data source that feeds it, and found the error.
You can also unwind the stack to the ObjectDataSourceView, look at the dataTable property, and call GetErrors() to see the issues. This returns an array of data rows which are flagging errors; The property RowError will show the error message for any given row.
