Have to test lambda several times before it works

I have a lambda function that I am playing around with. It inserts very basic information into a DynamoDB table. Here is the code:



'use strict';
const alexaSkillKit = require('alexa-skill-kit');
const AWS = require('aws-sdk');

function binDaySkill(event, context, callback) {
alexaSkillKit(event, context, (message) => {

let params = {
Item: {
user_id: '123',
some_data: 'some data here'
},
TableName: 'my_table'
};

let documentClient = new AWS.DynamoDB.DocumentClient();

documentClient.put(params, function (err, data) {
if (err) {
callback("Error", err);
} else {
callback(null, data);
}
});

});
}


The issue I am having is that it only sometimes saves the data in the DB. I have to click test 5-10 times before it does anything.



Can anyone help with what might be causing this?

  • Can you please share your test event payload data. Are you using hard-coded value for user_id & some_data (user_id:'123', some_data: 'some data here') in your snippet ?
