Bug Report

I am unable to access the HandlerInput object when developing driver extensions and testing them in the SFB simulator.

Skill Flow Builder Version

2.1.0

ASK CLI Version

2.22.4

Current Behavior

When debugging a custom driver extension in the skill flow builder, the value of param.userInputerHelper.getHandlerInput() always comes back as undefined. I can't tell if this same behavior is happening for deployed skills, or only in the context of the simulator, so apologies if this is intended but undocumented behavior.

Expected Behavior

It should be possible to operate on the HandlerInput object when simulating and developing skills.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a custom driver extension:

import { DriverExtension, DriverExtensionParameter } from '@alexa-games/sfb-f';

export class HandlerInputExtension implements DriverExtension {

    async pre(param: DriverExtensionParameter){
        const handlerInput = param.userInputHelper.getHandlerInput()
        if (handlerInput) {
            console.log("Pre handler received");
        }
    }

    async post(param: DriverExtensionParameter){
        const handlerInput = param.userInputHelper.getHandlerInput();
        if(handlerInput){
                console.log("Post handler received");
        }
    }

}

Neither of the console.log() messages every show up in the skill flow builder developer console when testing the driver extension. This same behavior can be seen when debugging the Quiz skills driver extension example.
