Googleaction function to handle error in ON_ERROR

#1

Hi all,

what’s the alternative for this.$alexaSkill.getError()

ON_ERROR() {
console.log(Error: ${JSON.stringify(this.$alexaSkill.getError())});
},

I need to handle for Google action

ON_ERROR() {
// Triggered when there is an error
    console.log(`Error: ${JSON.stringify(this.$googleAction.getError())}`);
}

but that didnt work

This currently only works with Alexa (which has specific error request types that Google Actions don’t have)

#3

Is this still the case? I’m also looking to log the error across platforms, including Alexa, Google Assistant and Web chatbots.

It depends on the error. If you throw the errors yourself, it works with ON_ERROR. But I think Google Actions don’t have “error-requests” like Alexa Skills. (not sure here)

This should work cross-platform

app.setHandler({
  LAUNCH() {
    throw new Error('OH NO');
  },
  ON_ERROR() {
      this.tell('Something went wrong.');
  },
});
