What happened?

I was able to successfully build and deploy the skill per the instructions. When I try to test it I get the error in the title. I don't see any log errors. Information to help troubleshoot below. Let me know if any other info is needed.

HA configuration.yaml file entry:

input_text:
  alexa_actionable_notification:
    name: Alexa Actionable Notification Holder
    max: 255
    initial: '{"text": "This is a test of the alexa actionable notifications skill. Did it work?", "event": "actionable.skill.test", "suppress_confirmation": "false"}'

Here is the redacted beginning of the lambda_function.py file:

VERSION 0.9.1

# UPDATE THESE VARIABLES WITH YOUR CONFIG
HOME_ASSISTANT_URL = "https://42fiwaed... REDACTED.ui.nabu.casa"  # REPLACE WITH THE URL FOR YOUR HOME ASSISTANT
VERIFY_SSL = False  # SET TO FALSE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE VALID CERTS
TOKEN = "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI... REDACTED"  # ADD YOUR LONG LIVED TOKEN IF NEEDED OTHERWISE LEAVE BLANK
DEBUG = True  # SET TO TRUE IF YOU WANT TO SEE MORE DETAILS IN THE LOGS

# SET TO FALSE IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SHARE CRASH REPORTS AND SKILL PERFORMANCE DATA WITH US.
# We really appreciate if you keep this True as we use this to help us identify bugs and fix them.
# Check sentry.io to see what information is collected
ALLOW_ANONYMOUS_DATA_COLLECTION = False 

""" NO NEED TO EDIT ANYTHING UNDER THE LINE """

Here is the redacted JSON Input 1 file that shows on testing page:

Relevant log output

Could not find any log information.

Dude this was completely unreadable. Please format your content next time or I will close the issue. I already formatted this time so no action just a warning.

[DEADSEC-SECURITY]

I need logs from cloudwatch, this json doesn't really help. Please past here your logs for the skill

[AngeloAna]

Sorry about the formatting. Rookie mistake. I am not familiar with AWS enough to create logs. I signed up for an AWS Management Console account and went into CloutWatch but do not see any log information. I assume this is because my Amazon Developer Account is not linked to the AWS Management Console account and I can't figure out how to do it.

[DEADSEC-SECURITY]

Use this button on your alexa dev console

I'm having the same issue. isodate could not be imported. I've created a skill from scratch because the Import process failed on me. Not sure why.
