Issue with State inside State

#1 
CancelIterationIntent() 
        {
            this.followUpState('Cancel')
                .ask("Are you done with the Library?"); 
        },

The above code exists in a state called MediaSearch.

 Cancel: 
        {
            YesIntent()
            {
                console.log("\n" + "\n" + "\n" + "\n" + "\n" + "\n" + "made it in"); 
                this.endSession(); 
            }, 

            NoIntent()
            {
                console.log("\n" + "\n" + "\n" + "\n" + "\n" + "\n" + "made it in"); 
                return this.toStatelessIntent('LAUNCH');
            }
        },

The above code is the state ‘Cancel’ which also exists inside MediaSearch.

intentMap: {
        'AMAZON.StopIntent': 'END',
        'AMAZON.YesIntent': 'YesIntent',
        'AMAZON.NoIntent': 'NoIntent'
    },

The above code is in config.js and maps Amazon’s proprietary intents to my intents.

           {
			"name": "YesIntent", 
			"phrases": [
				"yes"
			]
		}, 
		{
			"name": "NoIntent", 
			"phrases": [
				"no"
			]
		}

The above code is in en-US.json.

Problem:
When I test the application, it seems to route to the ‘Cancel’ state and the Yes and No intents fine; however, it does not go into the yes or no intent. It simply ends the session. I have 0 idea why. Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance!.

Could you paste the full request of either the YesIntent or NoIntent inside that state? Also, where are you testing it? Alexa Simulator, device, Jovo Debugger?

#3

I have been using both, depending on what I am testing. Here is the NoIntent request inside the 'Cancel" state:

#4

Thanks! And just to clarify: Is Cancel a state inside another state?

Then, you would need to do this:

this.followUpState('MediaSearch.Cancel')

// or, generic

this.followUpState(this.getState() + '.Cancel')

Thank you very very much!! That was the issue!
