question

Hello,

I am trying to write a skill in js that is being onvoked like

Alexa, <invocation name>

(and not by Alexa, start <invocation name>"

Actually I fail.

This is what i have (I built it upon some examples).

I thought (according to https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/docs/supported-phrases-to-begin-a-conversation#invoking-a-skill-with-no-specific-request-no-intent) that the launchRequest is fired with above-mentioned invocation. But I cannot hear a "Launch".

Do you have any ideas/examples for me?

Thank you in advance,

Patrick

// Extend AlexaSkill 
CustomSkill.prototype = Object.create(AlexaSkill.prototype); 
CustomSkill.prototype.constructor = CustomSkill;

// ----------------------- Override AlexaSkill request and intent handlers -----------------------
 CustomSkill.prototype.eventHandlers.onSessionStarted = function (sessionStartedRequest, session) {
    console.log("onSessionStarted requestId: " + sessionStartedRequest.requestId
        + ", sessionId: " + session.sessionId);
    // any initialization logic goes here
};
 CustomSkill.prototype.eventHandlers.onLaunch = function (launchRequest, session, response) {
    console.log("onLaunch requestId: " + launchRequest.requestId + ", sessionId: " + session.sessionId);	

	var speechOutput = "Launch";
        response.tell(speechOutput);
};
 CustomSkill.prototype.eventHandlers.onSessionEnded = function (sessionEndedRequest, session) {
    console.log("onSessionEnded requestId: " + sessionEndedRequest.requestId
        + ", sessionId: " + session.sessionId);
    // any cleanup logic goes here
};


CustomSkill.prototype.intentHandlers = {
    "CustomSkill": function (intent, session, response) {
      
        doSomething();
    },

    "AMAZON.HelpIntent": function (intent, session, response) {
	var speechOutput = "Help";
        response.tell(speechOutput);

    },

    "AMAZON.StopIntent": function (intent, session, response) {
        var speechOutput = "Goodbye";
        response.tell(speechOutput);
    },

    "AMAZON.CancelIntent": function (intent, session, response) {
        var speechOutput = "Goodbye";
        response.tell(speechOutput);
    }
};
