Problem exceuting custom actions

Rasa Open Source

I get this error when my bot tries to run my custom action:

 DEBUG:rasa_core_sdk.executor:Received request to run 'action_saveSomething'
 ERROR:flask.app:Exception on /webhook [POST]** 
 
 Traceback (most recent call last):**

 Make sure your action server properly runs actions and returns a 200 once the action is executed. 
 
 Error: 500 Server Error: INTERNAL SERVER ERROR for url: http://localhost:5055/webhook

actions_custom.py:

from __future__ import absolute_import
from __future__ import division
from __future__ import print_function
from __future__ import unicode_literals

from rasa_core_sdk import Action
from rasa_core_sdk.events import SlotSet

class ActionSaveSlot(Action):
    def name(self):
        return 'action_saveSomething'


    def run(self, dispatcher, tracker, domain):
        response =tracker.latest_message.text

        return [SlotSet("answer", response)]

Resolved,

        response =tracker.latest_message.text

should be

        response =tracker.latest_message
