Lightning Component's Developer Guide Example not working

Hi,
I am going throught the example and I am at the first part where you should be able to save dating but it doe not save data and it does not give me an error.  I put an alert statement to make sure that the button is actually firing the code.  I have no idea if the object has data in it because all the Alert returns is "[object Object]"  It is not like in the Apex debugger where you can see the content of the object.  It feels like this java script frame work is a step back in time to me.  Not user friend development at all!

Below is part of the example where I put an alert statement that does pop up but like I said it doesn't show any content that the expense object would be holding.

Any ideas -- I have looked at this code over and over and over and over and I see it to be written as I see in the book!
  
upsertExpense : function(component, expense, callback) {    
        alert("upsertExpense before saveExpense call!");
    	var action = component.get("c.saveExpense"); 
        
        alert("upsertExpense after saveExpense action! " + expense);
        
        action.setParms({
            "expense": expense
        });
        if (callback) {
        	action.setCallback(this, callback);
        }
        $A.enqueueAction(action);

    },//Delimited for future code

Thanks in advance for your support.

You might want to try either one of the following lines to display the expense object as a string. 
alert(JSON.stringify(expense));
console.log(expense);
Hope that works for you!

exact the same issue here, the callback function is never called.

When you click the Submit button, you're calling createExpense (formController), which calls helper.createExpense(). The latter then calls upsertExpense and helper.updateTotal(). If you're using the sample code and it's not working, I suspect it could be a namespace typo in updateTotal() (formHelper). Please check that you have total += e.Amount__c if you're using the default namespace, or total += e.myNamespace__Amount__c if you have a registered namespace. You can also try to install the Expense Tracker app via https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.196.0.lightning.meta/lightning/qs_aotp_app_package.htm (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.196.0.lightning.meta/lightning/qs_aotp_app_package.htm" target="_blank).
