I am trying to run one of the botbuilders samples to check the opportunities of sending adaptive cards to several channels starting with webchat. The example can be found here: https://github.com/microsoft/BotBuilder-Samples/tree/master/samples/javascript_nodejs/07.using-adaptive-cards
I managed to establish the connection with framework emulator, but when changing to test it in the azure console with the webChat test it seems that webChat is not able to send messages.
As I am using SDK V4 I understood that I do not have to care at all for the SSL Connection, neither I have to care about an A-category certificate - it's all done by the SDK/Framework.
So my bot is running as restify-server under the http protocol, but the configuration of the botservice indicates that the service endpoint should support https. Do I need to have worries about this?
Here the sample code:
// Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
// Licensed under the MIT License.
const path = require('path');
const restify = require('restify');
// Import required bot services.
// See https://aka.ms/bot-services to learn more about the different parts of a bot.
const { BotFrameworkAdapter } = require('botbuilder');
const { AdaptiveCardsBot } = require('./bots/adaptiveCardsBot');
// Read botFilePath and botFileSecret from .env file.
const ENV_FILE = path.join(__dirname, '.env');
require('dotenv').config({ path: ENV_FILE });
// Create adapter. See https://aka.ms/about-bot-adapter to learn more about adapters.
const adapter = new BotFrameworkAdapter({
appId: process.env.MicrosoftAppID,
appPassword: process.env.MicrosoftAppPassword
});
// Catch-all for errors.
adapter.onTurnError = async (context, error) => {
// This check writes out errors to console log .vs. app insights.
// NOTE: In production environment, you should consider logging this to Azure
// application insights.
console.error(`\n [onTurnError] unhandled error: ${ error }`);
// Send a trace activity, which will be displayed in Bot Framework Emulator
await context.sendTraceActivity(
'OnTurnError Trace',
`${ error }`,
'https://www.botframework.com/schemas/error',
'TurnError'
);
// Send a message to the user
await context.sendActivity('The bot encountered an error or bug.');
await context.sendActivity('To continue to run this bot, please fix the bot source code.');
};
// Create the AdaptiveCardsBot.
const bot = new AdaptiveCardsBot();
// Create HTTP server
const server = restify.createServer();
server.listen(process.env.port || process.env.PORT || 3978, function() {
console.log(`\n${ server.name } listening to ${ server.url }`);
console.log('\nGet Bot Framework Emulator: https://aka.ms/botframework-emulator');
console.log('\nTo talk to your bot, open the emulator select "Open Bot"');
});
// Listen for incoming requests.
server.post('/api/messages', (req, res) => {
adapter.processActivity(req, res, async (context) => {
await bot.run(context);
});
});```
