Got error when trying Alexa sample HelloWorld Node.js

Hi, I am new to Alexa and followed ASK to upload the sample HelloWorld node.js zip to AWS Lambda and configure it per documentation. When I tried the sample using the example prompt "Alexa, tell Greeter to say hello", i saw the following error shown on Alexa app: Null SpeechletResponse HelloWorld The SpeechletResponse must not be null Voice feedback Alexa heard: "ask greeter to say hello" Any idea why the sample would fail with the above error? Any pointer on how to troubleshoot this issue? Thanks, Frank

Newbie misstake: the root cause was that the zip created on my Mac via Finder right click automatically added the containing folder, hence the js files couldn't be located.

There is a sample blueprint for the Alexa Skill Kit included with Lambda on AWS, as well as several sample skills for that can be found here: https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/docs/using-the-alexa-skills-kit-samples.
