handlerInput.requestEnvelope.intent.slots.year.value is not working

It seems to be that code has been altered to Alexa.get like that but cannot find that correctly.
For me its working until getting all three variables but not storing it and responding.

"Create an Alexa Skill in 5 Minutes" documentation missing steps

Hello I am working through the tutorial for this skill. I am currently on step three, "Create a Skill in Five Minutes": https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/get-deeper/tutorials-code-samples/build-an-engaging-alexa-skill/module-3. While doing so, I have noticed that a step is missing/incorrect.

When a new skill is created, it is set with the invocation "change me". In order for Step 4c to work, the invocation needs to be changed to "cake time".

Error adding persistence

I get the following error when I try to add the persistence to my functioning code from Module 4.
Unable to import module 'index': Error
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:547:15)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:474:25)
at Module.require (module.js:596:17)
at require (internal/module.js:11:18)
at Object. (/var/task/index.js:5:28)
at Module._compile (module.js:652:30)
at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:663:10)
at Module.load (module.js:565:32)
at tryModuleLoad (module.js:505:12)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:497:3)

Adding the persistence line to the package.json file works fine, but seems to have no effect. Once I then add the very first line that references it
const persistenceAdapter = require('ask-sdk-s3-persistence-adapter');
in the index.js file causes the error to occur.

memory is not deleted if skill is re-created in same account

i create "birthday wishes" and while testing enter birthday.
Then I deleted "cake walk one".

I created "cake walk" ; while testing it's giving old message. "Welcome back. It looks like there are xxx days until your xxxth birthday."

Also text changed in languageString.js is not working; it's showing old text.

Error when skill try get user timezone

I am testing the skill with "pt-br", I have an error when it tries to get the timezone, it's going into the catch and triggering :

if (error.name !== 'ServiceError') {
                return handlerInput.responseBuilder.speak("There was a problem connecting to the service.").getResponse();
            }

It's necessary to add this .withApiClient(new Alexa.DefaultApiClient()) in the exports.handler section.

This should be included in the page https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/resources/training-resources/cake-walk/cake-walk-5
