Error when testing Cake Walk on Alexa Developer Console

Hi there,


I'm following this tutorial of Cake Walk: https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/resources/training-resources/cake-walk/cake-walk-3


However, when moving to Test (on the menu), I type to command, it doesn't work. Here's the error screen:



I followed exact step-by-step on tutorial and I get stucked right here when moving to Test simulation.


However, when I open my Echo Dot device, and test Alexa, it works.


What should I do to make it work on Simuation Test?


My Skill ID is:

amzn1.ask.skill.cf2962fb-44e5-4c38-b455-e32e495e45ed


Thank you.

Ah ha, gotcha.


It looks like the Antivirus somehow scans and blocks the HTTP/2 request.


I'm using Avast Security (for Mac), so I disable this option:



After that, it works just fine. Pretty strange though.
