"Failed to deploy." error for single stream sample

[koskoseu]

Hi,

I went through the other (closed) issue on the same topic, and no joy. I have both ask and awscli set up correctly, as far as I can see (see below for output of executing test commands on both), and a skill.json file in the same folder.

Adding --debug provides no additional output.

Test that awscli is set up properly:

username@ubuntu:~/work/alexa-radio/skill-sample-nodejs-audio-player/single-stream$ aws lambda list-functions
{
    "Functions": [
        {
            "TracingConfig": {
                "Mode": "PassThrough"
            },
            "Version": "$LATEST",
            "CodeSha256": "REDACTED",
            "FunctionName": "radiopresets",
            "VpcConfig": {
                "SubnetIds": [],
                "SecurityGroupIds": []
            },
            "MemorySize": 128,
            "RevisionId": "REDACTED",

            "Environment": {
                "Variables": {
                }
            },
            "Handler": "lambda_function.lambda_handler",
            "Role": "arn:aws:iam::REDACTED:role/AlexaRadioSearchPresets",
            "Timeout": 5,

            "Runtime": "python2.7",
            "Description": ""
        }
    ]
}

Test that ASK is set up properly (output shows a previously deployed, unrelated, skill)

username@ubuntu:~/work/alexa-radio/skill-sample-nodejs-audio-player/single-stream$ ask api list-skills
{
  "skills": [
    {
      "apis": [
        "custom"
      ],
      "lastUpdated": "2018-02-11T10:42:03.546Z",
      "nameByLocale": {
        "en-US": "RadioPresets"
      },
      "publicationStatus": "DEVELOPMENT",
      "skillId": "amzn1.ask.skill.[REDACTED]",
      "stage": "development"
    }
  ]
}

Command line and output

username@ubuntu:~/work/alexa-radio/skill-sample-nodejs-audio-player/single-stream$ ask deploy --debug
[Error]: Failed to deploy. Please ensure current working directory is the root of your skill project.

Any insight appreciated.

I think I nailed it down. Can you try to create a .ask directory to your project and add a file ./.ask/config

File content :

{
  "deploy_settings": {
    "default": {
      "skill_id": "",
      "was_cloned": false,
      "merge": {
        "skillManifest": {
          "apis": {
            "custom": {
              "endpoint": {
                "uri": "your_lambda_function_name"
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

(feel free to adjust the name of the lambda function) This file is in my .gitignore and should not be. Let me know if this fixes your issue, I will add the file back to the repo.

It fixed it for me. Thanks!

[sebsto]

great - I pushed the changes to our staging repo for review and then I will update this one.

Do you know if the schema for this .ask/config file is documented anywhere? Ia am having a hard time finding it.

[sebsto]

I am afraid the .ask/config schema is not documented. https://developer.amazon.com/docs/smapi/ask-cli-command-reference.html#
