No intent gets called - "App Launch" does work

Hi, when using this interaction model:

{
    "interactionModel": {
        "languageModel": {
            "invocationName": "testintent",
            "intents": [
                {
                    "name": "AMAZON.CancelIntent",
                    "samples": []
                },
                {
                    "name": "AMAZON.HelpIntent",
                    "samples": []
                },
                {
                    "name": "AMAZON.StopIntent",
                    "samples": []
                },
                {
                    "name": "TestIntent",
                    "slots": [],
                    "samples": [
                        "tomato say me hello world"
                    ]
                }
            ],
            "types": []
        }
    }
}

calling “testintent” in amazons test console/alexa simulator correctly response with “You launched the app” (also console logs it), tho when then trying to invoke an intent by calling: “tomato say me hello world” or “testintent tomato say me hello world”, it seems that the endpoint does not get loaded/called actually. So, launching app works but intents doesnt, what am i doing wrong?

Using following nodejs code:

var express = require("express");
var alexa = require("alexa-app");
var app = express();
var http = require("http"),
    https = require("https")
var alexaApp = new alexa.app("test");



alexaApp.express({
  expressApp: app,
  checkCert: false,
  debug: true
});

// now POST calls to /test in express will be handled by the app.request() function

// from here on you can setup any other express routes or middlewares as normal
app.set("view engine", "ejs");

alexaApp.launch(function(request, response) {
  console.log("yay");
  response.say("You launched the app!");
});


alexaApp.intent("TestIntent", {
    "utterances": [
      "tomato say me hello world"
    ]
  },
  function(request, response) {
      console.log("suc");
    response.say("Success!");
  }
);


var fs = require("fs");
var privateKey  = fs.readFileSync("./cer/privkey.pem", "utf8");
var certificate = fs.readFileSync("./cer/cert.pem", "utf8");
var credentials = {key: privateKey, cert: certificate};

var httpsServer = https.createServer(credentials, app);
httpsServer.listen(443);

Does someone may know, what im doing wrong?

You can read more about it at Invoking a Skill with a Specific Request , but I’m afraid the closest you will get is Alexa, say me hello world using tomato if your invocationName is tomato and your utterances include “say me hello world”.

I’m pretty sure the usage of “connecting words” is there so Alexa could distinguish between different skills and route the request to the right one. If you want to elaborate on your use-case, we might be able to find the right utterance(s).

If you are using the test simulator, can you take a look at the request it outputs in the Skill I/O tab? Also, try to invoke ask testintent to tomato say me hello world as your command.
