alexa auth command not working

[goldytech]

Hi,
In AWS Security profile following are my settings

Allowed Origins  
http://127.0.0.1:9000/
Allowed Return URLs  
http://127.0.0.1:9000/cb

now when I run the command sls alexa auth. I don't see any listener process / webserver getting started which listens on 9000 port.

Hence after the Amazon consent screen The redirect uri not working in browser.
I've been following this link https://medium.com/@rupakg/how-to-build-a-serverless-alexa-skill-51d8479e0432
to build my custom skill.

Please help

@goldytech it must be related with the versions 1.33.x of the serverless package: they must have changed the way they load/unload the plugins, or something like that - basically the command is terminated and the server is killed too early.

Workaround: npm install -g [email protected]

that should make sls alexa auth work afterwards (at least, it worked for me, node version 8.10).

ok, my guess is that this fix
serverless/serverless#5349
is actually breaking the sls alexa auth command for serverless 1.33.x.

Ironic :)

Yup, locally tested.
If you wanna give it a shot, install serverless 1.33.x, open the node_modules/serverless/bin/serverless file, delete this line
https://github.com/serverless/serverless/blob/master/bin/serverless#L45
and you'll see sls alexa auth waiting for the connection.

@marcy-terui, to fix this, make the command that's getting killed return a promise that doesn't resolve until the work is done. See serverless/serverless#5503 for how I fixed sls log being broken by the same change.

[brunotag]

An imperfect but easy to implement fix could be adding a .delay(someTensOfSeconds) at the end of this chain of then's.

Any update to this? I'm still seeing the issue with the latest version of serverless. @dschep I tried your fix by trying to install the fix, but the branch has been deleted.
