Remote name could not be resolved "facebook.botframework.com" - botframework

I am building facebook bot using Microsoft bot framework and api.ai but am facing the following errors
Remote name could not be resolved for following urls
facebook.botframework.com
api.api.ai
Could anyone suggest something

#Eric Dahlvang, please find details below
Both errors are frequent but not always
For facebook.botframework.com
the line of code which gives the error is 4th line in below code, sending the typing reply
var connector = new ConnectorClient(new Uri(activity.ServiceUrl));
Activity isTypingReply = activity.CreateReply();
isTypingReply.Type = ActivityTypes.Typing;
// error in line below
await connector.Conversations.ReplyToActivityAsync(isTypingReply);

My discord bot is unable to mention a role

The code segment for the mention:
hrole = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles,name="Heist")
await ctx.send(hrole.mention)
I've tried switching to <#&id> type mentions as well, but no matter how I change it it doesn't ping
what it does is send a #Heist which doesn't actually ping anyone
The bot has administrator permissions by the way
I managed to get the bot to ping the role cby changing the code to this:
allowed_mentions = discord.AllowedMentions(roles = True)
hrole = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles,name="Heist")
await ctx.send(hrole.mention, allowed_mentions=allowed_mentions)
for some reason the allowed reactions were turned off in the cog, this can fix it

how to properly delete or update activities on bot framework?

I can't find a guide on documentation for make this possible.
I tried to use TurnContext.UpdateActivity, but I'm getting an error.
My code:
IMessageActivity responseActivity = MessageFactory.Text("Test ctm");
responseActivity.Id = userProfile.messageToDelete;
responseActivity.Conversation = turnContext.Activity.Conversation;
responseActivity.ServiceUrl = turnContext.Activity.ServiceUrl;
//await turnContext.DeleteActivityAsync(userProfile.messageToDelete, cancellationToken: cancellationToken);
await turnContext.UpdateActivityAsync(responseActivity, cancellationToken);
The last line throws the exception:
Microsoft.Bot.Schema.ErrorResponseException: 'Operation returned an invalid status code 'NotFound''
What could be wrong? Can you share any code sample?
The Emulator is built on top of Web Chat, and unfortunately, Web Chat does not support updating or deleting activities at the moment. For more details, take a look at this comment in Web Chat's source code and this open issue in the Web Chat repository for adding support for deleteActivity and updateActivity.
Hope this helps!

Error sending message to WebChat via DirectLine

I have a bot deployed in Azure. Uses the latest >net bot framework, (v3).
The front-end uses the vanilla WebChat. I am trying to send an event from the BOT TO THE CLIENT, in order to trigger a wipe of the webchat visible history.
I'm getting the more than useless 502 error when my bot tries to send the event message.
The JS to setup the web chat and directline on my front end is:
var botConnection = new BotChat.DirectLine({
secret: {secret removed..becuase secret},
//token: params['t'],
//domain: params['domain'],
webSocket: "true" // defaults to true
});
BotChat.App({
bot: bot,
botConnection: botConnection,
resize: 'detect',
user: user,
chatTitle: false,
showUploadButton: false
}, document.getElementById('bot'));
//backchannel communication setup
botConnection.activity$
.filter(function (activity) {
return activity.type === 'event' && activity.name === 'clearChatHistory';
})
.subscribe(function (activity) {
console.log('"clearChatHistory" received');
clearChatHistory();
});
function clearChatHistory() {
$(".wc-message-wrapper").remove();
}
The idea here is that my bot code will create a message of type 'activity' with the value = 'clearChatHistory'. This fire the code on my client.
The code for sending this message is:
internal static async Task SendClearChatHistoryEvent(Activity activity)
{
Trace.TraceInformation($"Utility::SendClearChatHistoryEvent");
Activity clearMessage = activity.CreateReply();
clearMessage.Type = "event";
clearMessage.Value = "clearChatHistory";
Trace.TraceInformation(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(clearMessage));
Trace.TraceInformation($"Utility::SendClearChatHistoryEvent::ServiceURL:{activity.ServiceUrl}");
var connector = new ConnectorClient(new Uri(activity.ServiceUrl));
await connector.Conversations.SendToConversationAsync(clearMessage);
}
The bot fail is happening at the 'SendToConversationAsync' call
The closest thing I get to an error is on the client side
"https://directline.botframework.com/v3/directline/conversations/5OSJJILizNqGG4H7SaV6fQ/activities 502 (Bad Gateway)"
The Visual Studio output window displays
'Microsoft.Rest.TransientFaultHandling.HttpRequestWithStatusException'
and 'Microsoft.Bot.Connector.ErrorResponseException
exceptions
Any insights on what I might be doing wrong or whats happening otherwise here would be greatly appreciated.
You're setting the value on the event but checking the name. If you use this as the filter it should work:
.filter(activity => activity.type === 'event' && activity.value === 'clearChatHistory')
Regarding the bad gateway however, I am not sure, as I was not seeing this occur with your code on my system.
I figured out what the problem is. First, there was a bug in my code example which Mark B pointed out. However, that was not the source of the problem but it did help me to get to the real issue.
The Bad Gateway problem wasn't really a good indicator of the problem either. I had to do a lot of Trace writing and stepping through code to finally notice what was happening. I'll try to describe the problem so you all can learn from my boneheaded mistake.
The understand the problem, you need to understand what this line of code is doing
Activity clearMessage = activity.CreateReply();
CreateReply() creates a new Activiy from an existing one. When it does that, it swaps the values of From and Recipient. This is because you want to reply to the person the original message comes from. Make 100% total sense.
The problem, for me, was my original message was ALSO created by calling CreateReaply() in a previous dialog. SO, I basically created a new message to be sent to myself (or the bot in this case). I need the message to to to the chatbot user, not the bot.
When the bot framework attempted to send itself a message it excepted and failed. Why it got the bad gateway error I dont exactly know and will continue to research that.
To fix this, I changed my upstream code to use
var newMessage = context.MakeMessage()
instead of the CreateReaply(). This does not swap From and Recipient.
Everything is now flowing along very nicely. My code will now force a wipe of the visible chat history in my WebChat client.

PowerBI Web app Dashboard Sample error AADSTS50011

I download the integrate-dashboard-web-app and enter the ClientSecret and the ClientID values in the cloud.config file. But when I run the project I am getting this error "AADSTS50011: The reply address 'http://localhost:13526/Redirect' does not match the reply addresses". Is there some additaional setting I need to add to the Azure Active Directory? I dont see anything that related to the application for power BI in Azure
I got the same error. Below is how I fixed it:
Ensure that the Redirect URL set on the Power BI App (registered) is http://localhost:13526/Redirect
In the sample app, ensure the Cloud.config RedirectUrl setting has the value http://localhost:13526/Redirect
In the sample app, in the Page_Load method in redirect.aspx.cs, change the line:
string redirectUri = String.Format("{0}Redirect", Properties.Settings.Default.RedirectUrl);
to:
string redirectUri = String.Format("{0}", Properties.Settings.Default.RedirectUrl);

Google service object for Google Calendar API

I am trying to use the Google Calendar API in .NET, specifically I am trying to get a list of events. According to the examples here, in different programming languages I need to create a 'service' object and an 'event' object. However, I can't find a clear explanation of what either of these objects is or how to initiate them. Does anyone have an explanation? Or can anyone provide any information or give me a link to where this is explained? It doesn't necessarily have to be in .NET
Here is the example in Java:
String pageToken = null;
do {
events = service.events().list('primary').setPageToken(pageToken).execute();
List<Event> items = events.getItems();
for (Event event : items) {
System.out.println(event.getSummary());
}
pageToken = events.getNextPageToken();
} while (pageToken != null);
Following the advice answered, I am getting the following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Threading.Tasks.Extensions.Desktop, Version=1.0.16.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Here is the code, the error occurs on the credentials = Await... line
Dim credential As UserCredential
Dim clientSecretsPath As String = Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/client_secret.json")
Dim scopes As IList(Of String) = New List(Of String)()
scopes.Add(CalendarService.Scope.Calendar)
Using stream = New System.IO.FileStream(clientSecretsPath, System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read)
credential = Await GoogleWebAuthorizationBroker.AuthorizeAsync(GoogleClientSecrets.Load(stream).Secrets, scopes, "user", CancellationToken.None)
End Using
The problem with GoogleWebAuthorizationBroker is that it tries to launch a new instance of a web browser to go and get authorization where you have to click the "Grant" button.
Obviously if you're running a MVC project under IIS it's just going to get confused when the code tries to execute a web browser!
My solution:
Download the .net sample projects: https://code.google.com/p/google-api-dotnet-client/source/checkout?repo=samples
Build and run one of the projects relevant to you (Eg Calendar or Drive). Dont forget to include your client_secret.json file downloaded from the cloud console.
Run the project and it will open a new browser on your computer where you will have to click the "Grant" button. Do this once and then your MVC code will work because it will not try to open a web browser to grant the permissions.
I'm not aware of any other way to grant this permission to the SDK but it worked for me just great!
Good luck. This took me a good 5 hours to figure out.
Just had the same issue running VS2013 (using .net45 for my project):
After fetching the CalendarV3 API via NuGet you just have to manually add the reference to:
...packages\Microsoft.Bcl.Async.1.0.165\lib\net40\Microsoft.Threading.Tasks.Extensions.Desktop.dll
to the project (because it is not inserted automatically via the NuGet-Script)!
That's it! Maybe #peleyal is correcting the script somewhen in future ;)
Remember that this sample is for Java. My recommendation is to do the following:
Take a look in our VB sample for the Calendar API which is available here
You should take a look also in other sample for C#, let's say Tasks API sample
Start a new project and add a NuGet reference to Google.Apis.Calednar.v3. Remember that it's prerelease version.
Your code should look like the following:
It's based on the 2 samples above, I didn't compile or test it but it should work.
UserCredential credential;
using (var stream = new System.IO.FileStream("client_secrets.json",
System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read))
{
credential = await GoogleWebAuthorizationBroker.AuthorizeAsync(
GoogleClientSecrets.Load(stream).Secrets,
new[] { CalendarService.Scope.Calendar },
"user", CancellationToken.None);
}
// Create the service.
var service = new CalendarService(new BaseClientService.Initializer()
{
HttpClientInitializer = credential,
ApplicationName = "YOUR APP NAME HERE",
});
var firstCalendar = (await service.CalendarList.List().ExecuteAsync()).Items().FirstOrDefault();
if (firstCalendar != null)
{
// Get all events from the first calendar.
var calEvents = await service.Events.List(firstCalendar.Id).ExecuteAsync();
// DO SOMETHING
var nextPage = calEvents.NextPage;
while (nextPage != null)
{
var listRequest = service.Events.List(firstCalendar.Id);
// Set the page token for getting the next events.
listRequest.PageToken = nextPage;
calEvents = await listRequest.EsecuteAsync();
// DO SOMETHING
nextPage = calEvents.NextPage;
}
}
I had the same error, and it was due to the app trying to launch the accept screen.
I first tried to get the vb.net example from google and ran that, which I did get to work, and change to my secret info, ran and got the accept screen. I then tried my app, and it still did not work.
I noticed that the dll was found here under my project installed from the nuget packages.
...packages\Microsoft.Bcl.Async.1.0.165\lib\net40\Microsoft.Threading.Tasks.Extensions.Desktop.dll
but was not in the net45 dir. So I uninstalled the nuget packages (have to if changing the .net version) then changed my .net version for my project to 4.0 instead of 4.5, reinstalled the nuget packages, and then it worked!!
