Alexa - Implementing CanFulfillIntentRequest in python

I have enabled the CanFulfillIntentRequest from the alexa skill developer console in English(U.S) of my skill. I have added a handler in my lambda for the CanFulfillIntentRequest. When I use the skill tester and type the intent utterance directly (without skill invocation name), it doesn't seem to hit my code. I can't find any related logs in the cloudwatch.

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    print("event.session.application.applicationId=" +
          event['session']['application']['applicationId'])

    if event['session']['new']:
        on_session_started({'requestId': event['request']['requestId']},
                           event['session'])

    if event['request']['type'] == "LaunchRequest":
        return on_launch(event['request'], event['session'])
    elif event['request']['type'] == "IntentRequest":
        return on_intent(event['request'], event['session'])
    elif event['request']['type'] == "SessionEndedRequest":
        return on_session_ended(event['request'], event['session'])
    elif event['request']['type'] == "CanFulfillIntentRequest":
        return on_canfullfill(event['request'], event['session'])

def on_canfullfill(request, session):
    print ("Yes, I can!")

I know this has to respond back with a JSON specifying if the skill can or cannot take up this request. But shouldn't there be a - 'Yes, I can!' entry in the cloud watch logs?

What am I missing here? Also, where can I find documentation/apis on forming and sending the reponse for this request?

It looks like you can only test CanFulfillIntentRequest using Manual JSON tab from developer console and using ASK CLI.

From Alexa documentation

You cannot test CanFulfillIntentRequest with an Alexa-enabled device

More on testing CanFulfillIntentRequest here
