Feedback on the new console
Why have you hidden the Skill ID away onto the dashboard. When I'm updating to a new Lambda version and pasting in the endpoints, I then need to skill to set at lambda, which means I need to go to the dashboard page. Please make it available like it was on the old console.
Also, please please please, lets have some simple debugging logs and testing of execution for the Lambda.
Just a little test button next to the endpoint where it fires off something (discovery?) (SmartHome Skill) just to make sure it can execute the Lambda, between the permissions issues and region issues it's way to easy to get something wrong and it not work for an unknown reason.
Like wise, some error logs please (real time, not 36 hours delayed!). Esp for development skills. I've had skills not work because I set the wrong lambda version's skill (application) ID, and because of wrong region and working skills fail because the refresh token errors on my server, I was left with no clue bit to try all sorts of things to guess what was going wrong. It's mighty painful.
Testing: The test page is way confusing, and given I'm using a smart home skill it should be possible to just have a few buttons (send discovery, send turn on, turn off, etc), I can't even figure out where to begin with the test page as it is at present.
Better feedback in the Alexa development website as well please (alexa.amazon.co.uk), information on the devices discovered etc.
Thanks,
Steve.
