alexa-verifier set the "verify" flag to true and calling from a non echo throws an error
See original GitHub issueI used the example code here:
var AlexaAppServer = require("alexa-app-server");
var server = new AlexaAppServer( {
port:3000
,verify: true
,public_html: "public"
// Use preRequest to load user data on each request and add it to the request json.
// In reality, this data would come from a db or files, etc.
,preRequest: function(json,req,res) {
//console.log("preRequest fired");
//json.userDetails = { "name":"Bob Smith" };
}
// Add a dummy attribute to the response
,postRequest: function(json,req,res) {
//json.dummy = "text";
}
} );
server.start();
and added the verify flag so that I can pass the skills certification. When I try to make a request through postman it does fail (which is good) but It’s not throwing a 500, instead it throws the following error:
ReferenceError: er is not defined

I’m saying that I don’t know much about it, I didn’t write this code or actually used it myself 😉 Others like @tejashah88 or @mreinstein will know a lot more!
Closed via https://github.com/alexa-js/alexa-app-server/pull/51, thanks @mreinstein.
