this.nlu error with Google Assistant Requests

See original GitHub issue

I got this error:

TypeError: this.nlu.getIntentName is not a function
    at GoogleAction.getIntentName (/var/task/node_modules/jovo-framework/lib/platforms/googleaction/googleAction.js:66:25)
    at Jovo.getIntentName (/var/task/node_modules/jovo-framework/lib/jovo.js:289:57)

…when testing my function with a Google Assistant Request. I think the format of the requests from Google Assistant must have changed because my old test worked. I am using the Dialogflow v2 API, but have for the life of this particular project, so that hasn’t changed.

On the Google Assistant Simulator side, the logs say MalformedResponse: 'final_response' must be set because the app logic is returning null.

Testing locally with node-lambda and my app logic when pushed to Lambda, I’m getting further now in the logic since I’m now using the above correct request data. But it appears that that this.setSessionAttribute('intentData') works with Alexa requests but not Dialogflow ones. If I log out this.getSessionAttributes()after using the setter above it’s just an empty object.

Thanks again, @aswetlow .
