Node.js Alexa Task Issue
I'm currently coding a Node.js Alexa Task via AWS Lambda, and I have been trying to code a function that receives information from the OpenWeather API and parses it into a variable called weather. The relevant code is as follows:
var request = require('request');
var weather = "";
function isBadWeather(location) {
var endpoint = "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=" + location + "&APPID=205283d9c9211b776d3580d5de5d6338";
var body = "";
request(endpoint, function (error, response, body) {
if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
body = JSON.parse(body);
weather = body.weather[0].id;
}
});
}
function testWeather()
{
setTimeout(function() {
if (weather >= 200 && weather < 800)
weather = true;
else
weather = false;
console.log(weather);
generateResponse(buildSpeechletResponse(weather, true), {});
}, 500);
}
I ran this snippet countless times in Cloud9 and other IDEs, and it seems to be working flawlessly. However, when I zip it into a package and upload it to AWS Lambda, I get the following error:
{
"errorMessage": "Cannot find module '/var/task/index'",
"errorType": "Error",
"stackTrace": [
"Function.Module._load (module.js:276:25)",
"Module.require (module.js:353:17)",
"require (internal/module.js:12:17)"
]
}
I scoured countless articles and installed module-js, request, and many other Node modules that should make this code run, but nothing seems to fix this issue. Here is my directory, just in case:
- planyr.zip
- index.js
- node_modules
- package.json
Does anyone know what the issue could be?
