IMessageActivity as parameter

Question

According to this thread, How to get Activity Info from an IDialogContext i changed all my method-intents in code:

I am calling my LuisDialog from MessagesController this way :

 await Conversation.SendAsync(activity, () => new RootLuisDialog());

and then in method :

    [LuisIntent("test-intent")]
            public async Task help(IDialogContext context, IAwaitable<IMessageActivity> activity  LuisResult result)
            {

 await Conversation.SendAsync(activity  , () => SimpleFacebookAuthDialog.dialog);

    }

So when i run this it throws an exception :

{";None"}

and stacktrace :

Answer 1

You need to "wait" for the IAwaitable<IMessageActivity> parameter:

[LuisIntent("test-intent")]
public async Task help(IDialogContext context, IAwaitable<IMessageActivity> argument, LuisResult result)
{
    var activity = await argument;
    await Conversation.SendAsync(activity, () => SimpleFacebookAuthDialog.dialog);
}

All you need to do is to upgrade your old bot to the newest version. Doing that will give you context.Activity. Make your own choice.
