I was successfully able to add(sideload) a 1:1 bot and interact but instruction outlined here recently - Bots in channels is not working (the bot doesn't show up for add member in teams)

Screenshot with error: https://screencast.com/t/L6olsgWv
Sample code:

...
dialog.matches(/.*Sign In/i, [
    function (session) {
        let card = new builder.SigninCard(session)
            .text('BotFramework Sign-in Card')
            .button('Sign-in', 'https://login.microsoftonline.com');
        let m = new builder.Message(session);
        m.addAttachment(card);
        session.send(m);
    }
]);
...

Node.js 6.9.5 + NPM 4.6.1 + Bot Builder 3.8.3

DialogAction.validatedPrompt() has been deprecated as of version 3.8. Consider using custom prompts instead.

the source code is not updated yet.

I have tried a number of wav files when using this sample, including the weather wav file provided and each time it fails with: "[File of type 'audio/wav'] Oops! Something went wrong. Try again later."

This is the C# sample running in the emulator .
In Skype I cannot get a response at all

Hello,

I have a bot registered on bot framework. I have it's bot-id, it's Microsoft app id, and its Microsoft secret password. I have also configured DirectLine as a channel on it.

I have downloaded the core-DirectLine sample, and I did the following changes before running the sample:

• To the Web Api Project (Bot's logic), I modified the web.config values:

 <add key="BotId" value="MY_BOT_ID_HERE" />
 <add key="MicrosoftAppId" value="MY_APP_ID_HERE" />
 <add key="MicrosoftAppPassword" value="MY_PASS_HERE" />

• To the Console Application (DirectLine client), I modified the app.config values:

<add key="DirectLineSecret" value="DIRECT_LINE_SECRET_HERE"/>
<add key="BotId" value="MY_BOT_ID_HERE" />

One thing to mention is that when I configured DirectLine, it gives me two secret keys but I think is the same using one or another.

I have the Bot app deployed on Azure, and I run the console app locally.

What happens:

Whenever I send a message from Skype (bot user), the client doesn't receive anything. Similarly, when I write something on the DirectLineClientApp, the bot user doesn't receive anything via the bot.

This is what I get when I send something via direct line client app:

But nothing on Skype bot. And the same vice versa.

Any help?

Thanks.

I have imported LuisBot.json into LUIS, updated .env with its URL and App ID and password and I'm trying it via the Emulator under Linux. Before importing to LUIS, I tried to "test this sample as-is, using the hosted sample application", as mentioned in the README but got

[15:29:41] -> POST 401 [conversationUpdate]
[15:29:41] Error: The bot's MSA appId or passsword is incorrect.
[15:29:41] Click here to edit your bot's MSA info.

and wasn't sure what to fill in.
I notice the original URL in the sample code is https://api.projectoxford.ai/luis/v1/application?...
whereas mine is https://api.projectoxford.ai/luis/v2.0/apps/...
Could that be an issue?

Hello,
I'm wondering how I can return a herocard in the fulfill function in the ActionBinding framework? The examples are all strings in the callback. For example, in the WeatherInPlaceAction, I want to show a sunny picture with temperature instead of just a sentence. Really appreciate your help!

I want to create Cancel scrollable like in core-GlobalMessageHandlers, but is should show confirmation dialog. My problem is that i can't receive dialog response from IDialog inside ScrollableBase.
I have this code

var cancelDialog = new CancelDialog();
var interruption = cancelDialog.Void<object, IMessageActivity>();
this.task.Call(interruption, null);
await this.task.PollAsync(token);

But how can I process cancelDialog response, so I can call this.task.reset() ?

This may not be specific to this sample as I see an interesting error on all projects I run.

First, the immediate window is getting this a good number of times:
iisexpress.exe Warning: 0 : Service url localhost:62141 is not trusted and JwtToken cannot be sent to it.

I feel like this may be causing my issue where I can push an attachment to the emulator, but if it is a wav file I break to the catch exception on the try catch. Anything not a wav file gives me the correct output, but the wav seems to throw an exception when it tries to hit the bing service. I was hoping someone may have some information on this issue.

Would love to see some unit and integration testing examples for the Node samples

Hi everybody,

is there some way to use 'request', but instead of stream.pipe a file stored in my local machine? I'm asking this because I need to convert mp4 to wav before processing with your Speech API.

I am referring to this:

stream.pipe(request.post(speechRequestData, (error, response, body) => {
        if (error) {
            reject(error);
        }
        else if (response.statusCode != 200) {
            reject(body);
        }
        else {
            resolve(JSON.parse(body).header.name);
        }
    }));

Can we have a sample that doesn't use ASP .NET to interact with the bot API etc.? Just something super simple so that we have a distilled example of the bot API calls without the ASP .NET stuff around it.

GZipSerialize as an existing extension method of ConversationReference is throwing SerializationException because ConversationReference class is not marked as [Serializable]

Hey there, I've been trying to use your /CSharp/core-BasicMultiDialog/Dialogs/RootDialog.cs example and this.NameDialogResumeAfter and this.AgeDialogResumeAfter in the SendWelcomeMessageAsync and NameDialogResumeAfter methods are throwing errors? Do I need to pass parameters to them? line 37 and 46 btw

Hi,

when running the Luis sample, i get the above response after sending a message through the Emulator.
This happens in all Code where i use the LuisDialog. All other samples work. Luis seems to be the Problem...
Can you help me?

I'm trying the Node\intelligence-LUIS example locally in the bot-emulator, it replies

Sorry, I did not understand 'Hotels'. Type 'help' if you need assistance.

no matter what I type, even 'help'.

I have specified my LUIS endpoint, and I'm sure the LUIS service is OK because I can get normal results by typing directly in the browser url. How can I get this example work? Thanks

So I tried the example, ImageCaption, and deployed to Azure (by clicking the blue button).

However after the deployment I got the following error when I visit the url:

{"code":"ResourceNotFound","message":"/ does not exist"}

Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to store some user data for a bot but I cannot find the right way. I used a .txt file and this method works but when I upload the project all the users that will use the bot, will share the same file and I don't want to do that. I want to store some settings for every different user that will use the bot and keep these settings for ever.
I tried Stateclient and GetUserData but the stored values are disappearing. I am doing something wrong ?
How can I implement this?

Hi,

I can't get this code works with the Bot Framework Emulator. I always have a 400 BAD REQUEST response on Conversation.SendAsync(activity, () => new RootLuisDialog()).

I've triple checked my modelId and SuscriptionKey, but no change.

Thanks.

Hi there.

sorry for my English. I try the undersatnd the Microsoft Bot Builder and the Dialogs methods.

In the samples the Microsoft Bot Builder 3.2.1.0 is used.

In the namespace Microsoft.Bot.Builder.Dialogs there is a class called PromptStyler

The void method "Apply" uses IList option.

In the new assembly 3.5.0.0 there is IReadOnlyList options.

When I updated the solution I can't build the Bot. Why is there a change from IList to IReadOnlyList?

And how can I fix the issue?

-->Sample I used: SearchPowerBots > Project "Search.Dialogs"

Many thanks
Arash

Hi.

I was trying to implement Action Binding on my bot that uses Luis Dialogs but when creating an Action, Visual Studio can't find the ActionBinding namespace in Microsoft.Cognitive.LUIS.ActionBinding

I copied the imports from here

I have the latest Nuget package in my project for Microsoft.Cognitive.LUIS which is v2.0.2

Below my packages.config:

Any tips on getting it to work?

can I display attachment content if so instead of attachment.contenttype what should I use???
By attachment I mean a audio file

I'm leveraging the Luis Intent Actions https://github.com/Microsoft/BotBuilder-Samples/tree/master/Node/blog-LUISActionBinding and would like to access the session to respond with attachments instead of a simple callback of text to the user. As the session context of the dialog is not available, how is someone supposed to do this?

Hi
I am using Webchat in my web site application
I am generated Token using WebChat Secret, Not using DirectLine

I am not able to find API and process to Refresh token after 30 min for my Webchat
due to this chat session is expired after 30 min and stop responding

If I regenerate token with secret my conversation data will lost

The description here, for receiving an attachment, works well, but when I try it with an image I get the following problem. The original (jpg) file looks like this in a text editor:
\377\330\377\340^@^PJFIF^@^A .....
but the file, after being received and then uploaded (to Amazon S3) looks like this:
\375\375\375\375^@^PJFIF^@^A .....
So all of the escape sequences have been converted to this \375 sequence. Is it obvious why that would be happening? Here's what I'm doing:

request({
url: attachment.contentUrl,
headers:{
'Authorization' : 'Bearer ' + connector.accessToken,
'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream'
}
}, function (error, response, body){
const Buff = Buffer.from(body,'binary');
var s3Params = {
Bucket: ...,
Key: ....,
Body: Buff,
ACT: ....
};

s3.putObject(s3Params,function(s3err,s3res){
      stuff
});

});

Writing to S3 has worked before, so I don't think that's the problem. I just can't figure out why the files would be identical other than those escape sequences, and was wondering if someone recognizes this.

Hi, I am trying to use CardAction to add a button with an image in it. I was reading through the documentation and I did what it says there, but it is still not working.

builder.CardAction.openUrl(session,"", "Go to Link").image("http://www.clker.com/cliparts/Y/w/d/M/s/y/call-icon-hi.png")

Am I doing anything wrong?
Also. Is there any way to use icons in the text like glyph icons or font awesome icons?

Is it there a way to add support for audio/aac and video/mp4 file formats used in Facebook Messenger, as currently the Bing Speech API is only able to handle audio/wav files? For example, is there a way to convert audio/aac or video/mp4 files into audio/wav files online?

In my database is stored place_id. How to make reverse geocoding based on place_id and just show the map to the user ?

<member name="F:Microsoft.Bot.Builder.Location.LocationOptions.ReverseGeocode">
            <summary>
            Use this option if you want the location dialog to reverse lookup
            geo-coordinates before returning. This can be useful if you depend

The spell checker didn’t work for me until I added the mode:

var values = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{ "text", text },
{ "mode", "spell" }
};

Is "spell" the correct mode for Chatbots?

Hi,

Thanks for the code sample BotBuilder-Samples/Node/core-ReceiveAttachment/app.js.
But I've found an issue: the download of binary content requires to set encoding with a null value
see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14855015/getting-binary-content-in-node-js-using-request for more details and https://github.com/request/request (search encoding: null)

I suggest this fix

var requestWithToken = function (url, contentType, token) {
return request({
url: url,
encoding : null,
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token,
'Content-Type': contentType
}
});
};

// for other case
var requestSimple = function (url, contentType) {
return request({
url: url,
encoding : null,
headers: {
'Content-Type': contentType
}
});
};

best regards,

I faced a problem yesterday when the user typed a value that is a list entity which would cause an InvalidCastException to be thrown in the ActionBinding project.

Exception message: Object must implement IConvertible

After some debugging (pictures attached) I found the problem and came up with a temporary fix.

In LuisActionResolver.cs (line ~445)

Before:

if (matchingEntity != null)
{
	var paramValue = matchingEntity.Resolution != null && matchingEntity.Resolution.Count > 0
		? matchingEntity.Resolution.First().Value
		: matchingEntity.Entity;

	result &= AssignValue(action, property, paramValue);
}

After:

if (matchingEntity != null)
{
	var paramValue = matchingEntity.Resolution != null && matchingEntity.Resolution.Count > 0
		? matchingEntity.Resolution.First().Value
		: matchingEntity.Entity;

	if (paramValue is JArray)
	{
		paramValue = (paramValue as JArray).First();
	}

	result &= AssignValue(action, property, paramValue);
}

(and the required imports)

It works for me since I don't have the same synonym in multiple entries.

I could create a pull request but I'm not sure if this is the best approach to solve the problem.

I came across an article for human hand off in MS bot here

A sample using .nodeJS is given in this article. Do we have this sample in .Net also? If yes then please someone provide the address. Thanks

I realise this is not exactly related to bot builder but i dont know where else to put LUIS related questions.

What i want to do is define a hierarchical entity with the following template "the car has x doors and y seats"

Now the inbuilt dimension entity is pretty unreliable when it comes to recognizing "x doors" and "y seats" so i want to create my own entities called 'doors' and 'seats' which i can do by highlighting the sample utterance and labeling however LUIS doesn't seem to be able to generalize x and y, so if my sample utterance is 5 doors and 7 seats then it wont recognize 3 doors and 5 seats correctly.

How can i get LUIS to recognize a number followed by a keyword as a single entity where number is variable?

In my messages controller have this :

public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> Post([FromBody]Activity activity)
        {
           
            if (activity.Type == ActivityTypes.Message)
            {
                try
                {
                    await Conversation.SendAsync(activity, () => new RootDialog());

Than, in The RootDialog :

 private async Task MessageReceivedAsync(IDialogContext context, IAwaitable<IMessageActivity> argument)
        {
            var msg = await argument;

            try
            {
                switch (msg.Text)
                {
                  case "FirstCallBack" : 
                  break;
                  case "SecondCallBack" : 
                  break;
                  default:
                  context.Call(new RootLuisDialog(), RootLuisDialog.FinishLuisDialog);

The default option does not executes properly :

In the debugger, when first time msg.text = "hi", default case is hit but it does not "call" LUIS dialog.
Second time LUIS dialog executes properly.

Any idea why this happens this way ?

Hi ALL,

I making project of hitting MS bot via Direct Line Api V3.
direct line is enabled.
token is generating.
communicationg via websocket url .
then able to post message back via Direct line v3 post method.
now , problem is , that, how to post json response back, if bot earlier messaged me, having hero card with buttons
on it .

I am not able to post button action via Direct line post api.

https://github.com/Microsoft/BotBuilder-Samples/tree/master/Node/core-SendAttachment
https://github.com/Microsoft/BotBuilder-Samples/tree/master/CSharp/core-SendAttachment

These samples do a good job on the attachment side, but don't illustrate upload.

They should show:

1. Uploading via the attachment API (https://docs.botframework.com/en-us/restapi/connector/#!/Conversations/Conversations_UploadAttachment)
2. Including an attachment inline as a base64 data URI (example here, search for "base64": https://docs.botframework.com/en-us/core-concepts/attachments/)

A lot of samples for node requires defining some env variables, like MICROSOFT_APP_ID, env, PORT. A little bit tricky for me was BING_MAPS_KEY for contoso_flowser sample, which is did not mention in README at all.

IMHO, whole this stuff with variables can be put under management with dotenv-safe (https://github.com/rolodato/dotenv-safe) module via .env.example file. In short: dotenv-safe is same as dotenv, but you can list required environment variables in .env.example file (with empty values), then push it to any public repository. Any user will be required to build own .env file with ALL stuff mentioned in .env.examples to run app. So, you can list any API keys for sample in .env.example. Nice

In the preview picture for the emulator of the readme, there are buttons to click (hotels and flights).

When I run the example in the emulator, it is just text. Can't figure out why.
Isn't this Code just sending text?

builder.Prompts.choice( session, 'Are you looking for a flight or a hotel?', [Flights.Label, Hotels.Label], { maxRetries: 3, retryPrompt: 'Not a valid option' });

I have a bot deployed on AWS API Gateway which is using serverless technology. The bot works fine on my machine and I can see requests coming in to /api/messages in API Gateway. But these messages are not being passed to the connector.listen().

Is there any guidance on how requests should interact with the botframework running on this platform?

Hi ,
I ran this code few days ago it was running fine . But now I dowloaded this code from git and deployed it to azure by changing appid and app password , when I run it now i am getting "Did you upload an audio file? I’m more of an audible person. Try sending me a wav file".

Please help.

Locally and test web-chat works fine

Hello-
I see the ability to have a Prompt.Choice in the Dialog but I am wondering if the ability to use a series of two select menus is supported yet? Basically a Rich form instead of a form with the basic lists and bullet points.

Thanks!

Here : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/webhook-reference/account-linking
is mentioned that callback response is :

{
  "sender":{
    "id":"USER_ID"
  },
  "recipient":{
    "id":"PAGE_ID"
  },
  "timestamp":1234567890,
  "account_linking":{
    "status":"linked",
    "authorization_code":"PASS_THROUGH_AUTHORIZATION_CODE"
  }
}    

What type of ActivityTypes should i use to get autorization_code ?

It shows up just fine in the emulator but the bot is quiet in skype and facebook until the user says something

I have the following code in my rootDialog (see below). I am detecting if a user has a profile set up in UserData, if not, I want them to go to the BotUserProfile dialog. There is a series of DialogPrompts in that Dialog, so I need to use Context.Call (not Context.Forward).

The problem is that when I call Context.Call from MessageReceivedAsync, it does not appear to call StartAsync in the child dialog. In fact, it's not clear to me how any methods get called in the child dialog and all the examples of Context.Call that I can find are for FormFlow, not custom dialogs. Context.Call appears to just immediately return the ResumeAfter callback.

BUT, If I move that Context.Call code into the RootDialog's StartAsync, then Context.Call does call the child dialog's StartAsync. This wont work for me as StartAsync is called once per conversation, and I need this check to be performed on every message sent.

Thanks for any help.

    public async Task StartAsync(IDialogContext context)
    {
        context.Wait(this.MessageReceivedAsync);
    }

    public virtual async Task MessageReceivedAsync(IDialogContext context, IAwaitable<IMessageActivity> result)
    {

        BotUserProfile botUserProfile;

        if (!context.UserData.TryGetValue("botUserProfile", out botUserProfile))
        {
            if (botUserProfile == null)
            {
                try
                {
                    //this doesn't seem to be calling _botUserProfileDialog's StartAsync
                    context.Call(_botUserProfileDialog, ResumeAfterDialog);
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {

                    await context.PostUpAsync(e.ToString());
                }
            }
            else
            {
                {
                    if (botUserProfile.ActiveUntil < DateTime.UtcNow)
                    {
                        context.UserData.RemoveValue("botUserProfile");
                        context.Call(_botUserProfileDialog, ResumeAfterDialog);
                    }
                }
            }
            ...
        }

Is it there a way to add support for audio/aac and video/mp4 file formats used in Facebook Messenger, as currently the Bing Speech API is only able to handle audio/wav files? For example, is there a way to convert audio/aac or video/mp4 files into audio/wav files online?
