Microsoft/BotBuilder

The Microsoft Bot Builder SDK is one of three main components of the Microsoft Bot Framework. The Microsoft Bot Framework provides just what you need to build and connect intelligent bots that interact naturally wherever your users are talking, from text/sms to Skype, Slack, Office 365 mail and other popular services.

Hi! Can you use bot framework v4 with .net core 3.0?

@Aliandi

Is there anyone here deploying python bots to azure? I am getting a 502 when testing every time :(

Alberto Dallagiacoma

@albertodall

@FlorenciaNodar Yes. I'm using it, no problems at all..

Aveek

@aveek22

@dinobrago You can relate it to an FAQ page of a website. In addition to that, you can also design your own questions and answers from which users can conversate with.

FlorenciaNodar

@FlorenciaNodar

@albertodall Muchas gracias!

Dean Goddette

@dinobrago

@aveek22 Yes, I should have been clearer. I have been trying it out and it seems overkill for a simple FAQ and more tailored to creating knowledge bases from large sets of documents. But that's my uninformed opinion. I was interested in people's hands on experience with it. Any users of it out there?

Hello! Question about protect a bot in Azure. I created a Web App Bot and related App Service, registered the Bot in Azure Active Directory with MS id and psw.
I want to protect the endpoint of my bot (https://<bot_name>.azurewebsites.net) switching on the Authentication setting of the app service (AAD provider). What i need to configure to allow botframework to continue to work correctly? Thanks in advance

@dinobrago QnAMaker now allows for multi-turn questions & answers, so you can actually use it for troubleshooting steps with a user. (E.g. Instructional steps in product manual.) I've used QnA Maker to create a bot that points me (and my teammates) to multiple internal resources (e.g. Booking travel, links to corporate perks, links to marketing dashboards and other tools).

@Aliandi - 502 usually means your process is crashing/not starting. Have you checked your application logs for some exception messages or clues as to what is happening?

Ali

@Aliandi

@christopheranderson I've checked the logs and the issue was when the app runs it does not have the requirements installed (e.g. botbuilder-core) even though I have a requirements.txt file. I've been stuck with this deploy for a week. Is there any guide for python bot deployment I could have missed out?

Kyle Delaney

@v-kydela

@Aliandi - I recommend asking a question on Stack Overflow so you can provide more details

Christopher Anderson

@christopheranderson

quick workaround is to run python -m pip install --upgrade -r /home/site/wwwroot/requirements.txt from kudu console to install your packages

As Kyle said, a SO post with some details on how you tried to deploy/etc. would help to understand why the packages weren't installed when you deployed.

Ali

@Aliandi

@v-kydela @christopheranderson I'll be looking into that workaround and if I still can't make it work I'll be posting on SO. Thanks for the help :heart: !

@Aliandi i deployed some python bots to Azure Thursday. What steps are you following?

Eric Dahlvang

@EricDahlvang

@PaoloWork Azure Bot Service authentication is described here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/rest-api/bot-framework-rest-connector-authentication?view=azure-bot-service-4.0#authentication-technologies the protocol ssl/tls, oath 2.0, jwt tokens

The sdks are written to validate these tokens

Eric Dahlvang

@EricDahlvang

Locking down the aad app associated with the bot would prevent the connector services messages from making it to the endpoint.

It is possible to use a separate aad app registration, and require signing into that from the bot: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/bot-builder-authentication?view=azure-bot-service-4.0&tabs=csharp

Eric Dahlvang

@EricDahlvang

However, if you're using just the directline channel, there's also this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/bot-service-channel-directline-extension?view=azure-bot-service-4.0

Ali

@Aliandi

@EricDahlvang I've been following thesestehttps://github.com/Microsoft/botbuilder-python/issues/101#issuecomment-456222233

Just tried it again, and successfully deployed the echo bot using az cli and template-with-new-rg.json from https://github.com/microsoft/BotBuilder-Samples/tree/master/samples/python/02.echo-bot/deploymentTemplates with the following steps:

az login

az account set --subscription "My Subscription Name"

az configure --defaults group=MyDefaultResourceGroup location=westus

az ad app create --display-name "EricPython02Echo" --password "MyPython02EchoPassword" --available-to-other-tenants

[ad app create will generate an appid for next step '2b7d57cf-6185-4fc6-accb-eb24dd1e6931']

az deployment create --name "EricPython02Echo" --template-file "template-with-new-rg.json" --location "westus" --parameters appId="2b7d57cf-6185-4fc6-accb-eb24dd1e6931" appSecret="MyPython02EchoPassword" botId="EricPython02Echo" botSku=S1 newAppServicePlanName="EricPython02EchoAppServicePlan" newWebAppName="EricPython02Echo" groupName="EricPython02EchoGroup" groupLocation="westus" newAppServicePlanLocation="westus"

[zip up the code and deploy with the following]

az webapp deployment source config-zip --resource-group "EricPython02EchoGroup" --name "EricPython02Echo" --src "code.zip"

Deploying to an existing resource group also works, but there is a restriction where it can only have linux resources. If there are windows resources in the resource group, the deployment will fail.

@Aliandi

@EricDahlvang that worked like a charm! I have an echo bot deployed and answering right now! Thanks!

Hello!
I recently did my first steps around building a bot.
While doing that, I ran into an authentication issue which I'm unable to solve on my own.
I'm using python and started some tests with the echo bot: https://github.com/microsoft/BotBuilder-Samples/tree/master/samples/python/02.echo-bot
I registered an application and configured the bot with APP_ID and APP_PASSWORD.
After starting the bot, it works fine for a while. After an hour or so it stops working (means: doesn't send messages anymore to MS Teams) and I see this in the logs:

DEBUG urllib3.connectionpool https://smba.trafficmanager.net:443 "POST /emea/v3/conversations/19%3Ae9aa9e96861[...] HTTP/1.1" 401 61 DEBUG msrest.exceptions Operation returned an invalid status code 'Unauthorized'

I assume the token which has been received when during the initial interaction is expired and the bot is not allowed to send messages anymore.
I guess I need to configure some kind of authentication refresh, eg telling the underlying framework
to fetch a new token in case the current one is expired is about to expire.
However, I can't find a way of achieving that.
Do you have any hints where I need to look at?

Hi @larsschumachenko ... I ran into the same issue: microsoft/botbuilder-python#596

@EricDahlvang I updated the library, it works properly now. Thank you for the fast fix.
