Question

Please help me if any body resolved the issue and below is my lambda funciton code.
when i comment all funcitons in exports.handler funciton and execute/test single function it is working but if we enable all funcitons then i am getting the error as Error handled: Cannot read property 'value' of undefined

Answer 1

Check all of your code for instances where you are looking for someObject.someNestedProperty.value.
I suspect that your slot values in your Intents are not the same as defined in your model/some-LANG.json file. Trying to access value property from someObject without a someNestedProperty will cause your error (i.e. request.intent.slots.PROJECTKEY.value).
If this is a Alexa-hosted skill, CloudWatch logging is built right in. Open the Alexa Developer Console, edit your skill, then go to the Code tab. On the bottom left, you should see a link for Logs: Amazon CloudWatch. You can log anything you want with a simple console.log() statement.
Also, be aware that the ask-sdk-core npm package contains helper methods to get slotValues (among other great tools). For more information, see this link: https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/alexa-skills-kit-sdk-for-nodejs/utilities.html

Answer 2

Thanks all for your suggestions and prompt response.
Now the issue is resolved and the solution is the addRequestHandlers method will execute methods sequentially even if you execute/trigger third handler it will execute 1st and 2nd and goes to 3rd one. Here the issue is when you trigger a 3rd handler command from alexa it will passs the slot values related to the 3rd handler utterance and hence the 1st and 2nd haldler having slot values are not able to resolve and failed. so i put a condition overthere to skip 1st and 2nd handler execution and it worked.
