Do you need to connect to the Microsoft Bot Framework in order for this to work?

Hi @jyfcrw ,
I have been trying to get your example working and while the auth step and parsing of incoming message works brilliantly, when it comes to sending reply back, I always get

Error { WeChatAPIError: invalid appid hint: []
    at C:\Projects\collins\test\botbuilder-wechat-connector\node_modules\wechat-api\lib\util.js:15:13

I have looked at the request url being used and the &appid= &secret= are correct and am uncertain what step I am missing.
The documentation here seems to be the cause of issue as going to the url there that is generated internally as well yields the error above. Due to limited understanding through Google Translate of Sandbox page, I imagine there is some step I am missing ?

Hi ,

i got this error when the server receiving messages using the tests/example.js. Please help.

Hi, thanks for the great repo.

As wechatOA can do STT automatically, so I suggest to add recognition function, it means connector can convert audio to speech automatically if the audio response has the Recognition field.

When I say audio 你好哈喽!, wechat audio response log as follows:

{
    "ToUserName": "gh_87e03c422b73", 
    "FromUserName": "o04vx0YXJGTnPdiXLSu1xZW2Ajuo", 
    "CreateTime": "1513529079", 
    "MsgType": "voice", 
    "MediaId": "9seTBfhw1KmTiaORRo4dPXwULfy4DQnyjcnPPJjjT9gwoqU2WXRTEqfwxV2pRQbZ", 
    "Format": "amr", 
    "MsgId": "6500557895850000384", 
    "Recognition": "你好哈喽！"
}

I found your code

if (msgType == 'text') {
  msg = msg.text(wechatMessage.Content);
} else {
  msg = msg.text('');
}

I suggest to add msgType === 'voice' like this

if (msgType == 'text') {
  msg = msg.text(wechatMessage.Content);
} else if (msgType == 'voice') {
  msg = msg.text(wechatMessage.Recognition);
} else{
  msg = msg.text('');
}

Do you have any suggestion to do this? Or if you give some suggestion, I'd like to pull request.

Let's say I want to send multiple responses to the user:

session.send('test 1');
session.send('test 2');
session.send('test 3');

These messages arrive in a random order, which is not expected.

If I add a small delay between the three messages, e.g. 250ms, then the user only receives one of the three messages, and the other two fail because apparently the token or conversation expires somehow.

by default, if we just build default ms bot; we could use emulator to test it;
for wechat bot, how to test it? much thanks! the best way is that: add the test official account, and send the message to the account, the wechat bot could response these message.

Much thanks in advance.

Hello,
so using test account I can fully test wechat with MS bot framework?
do you know c# implementation of the same?

Receiving messages works fine but sending messages breaks with this error
node_modules/wechat-api/lib/api_common.js:179:48

It seems the data return from the getAccessToken() is null i don't understand why.

I think wechat-api try to initialize with a getAccessToken failing

When i received msg from wechat my server crash like this

events.js:160
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'getSignature' of undefined
at ......\node_modules\wechat\lib\wechat.js:450:34

Hi I had setup a WeChat Public trial account, and in bot framework here's my NodeJS code:

`var express = require('express');
var builder = require('botbuilder');
var botbuilder_azure = require("botbuilder-azure");
var WC_Connector = require('botbuilder-wechat-connector');

// Setup Express Server
var server = express();
server.listen(process.env.port || process.env.PORT || 3978, function () {
console.log('%s listening to %s', server.name, server.url);
});

// Create chat connector for communicating with the Bot Framework Service

var connector = new WC_Connector.WechatConnector({
appID: process.env.WeChatAppId || "",
appSecret: process.env.WeChatAppSecret || "",
appToken: process.env.WeChatAppToken || ""
});

server.post('/api/messages', connector.listen());

var bot = new builder.UniversalBot(connector, function (session, args) {
session.send('You reached the default message handler. You said '%s'.', session.message.text);
});`

However when I tried to send a message from wechat, it shows that:
This Offical Account is temporarily unavailable. Try again later.

Is that anything for my configuration error about wechat?

I am looking for a nodejs wechat connector for botbuilder v4...
any roadmap?

Thanks.
