I have created a bot using Template in VS 2019. I Can deploy it using Azure CLI and Directly publishing from Visual Studio to Azure. I just want to know can i deploy it using Bot framework composer or not. As I am trying to open a bot using composer but it is not letting me open it.
If you created the bot using a template from VS, then you cannot publish from Composer. Bots created outside of Composer are not compatible and therefore you will not be able to open it, nor publish it.
I'm using visual studio 2019 for creating a bot application and I have run it successfully that I added the Bot in Microsoft Team using botframework.com and I was downloaded the MSTeam application and installed but it doesn't show my Bot app in msTeam Application
MSTeam channel creation in botframework:
MSTeam Application:
I have only 3 option such as activity, chats, calendar on the left panel
You Need to get access from admin account for app store to Microsoft teams.
In Office 365 admin center, in settings for Microsoft Teams. Turn on the option "Allow external apps in Microsoft Teams". So that you can view app studio in your Teams.
I don't have experience with botframework.com, but I'm assuming the behavior is going to be the same as when I manage bots through Azure. Turning on the channel itself isn't sufficient to add the bot to teams. There are (at least) two methods you can use to add the bot:
Copy the bot's Microsoft App Id and enter it into the To: field of a Teams chat. The bot should come up and you should be able to chat with it if the channel was set up correctly. It is not a good idea to share this app ID with others. I'd use this only for your own personal testing.
Create a Teams app manifest and load the app into Teams. There are a number of ways to create a manifest, but the easiest is to use the "App Studio" app from the Teams app store.
If you go the Teams app route, you can either sideload the app (which again, Teams App Studio makes that process easy but you can also Upload a custom app from the app store tab) or you can submit to your company app store. If you do not have a company app store, you'll need to sideload until you are ready to submit to the Microsoft App Store (if that is your end goal).
I am working with Microsoft bot framework 4.10 with adaptive card. my bot properly working in emulator, but when I tried to publish it in Azure web app its not given any response as expected. I have go through Microsoft given both samples. Take a look at the github project.
I have done the same configurations as in the document.
Is there any additional configurations needed to be done for adaptive dialog.
I really appreciate any help :)
Using Azure Bot Service with C# Bot Builder SDK v4 v4.0.7 (the GA version released September 2018).
I'm using the BOT file to store configuration settings for a GenericService and so have changed the BOT file from the default that was provided with the Azure template.
Changes were made via MSBOT CLI.
When running locally via the emulator, the bot code sees modified local BOT file and all is good.
However, the BOT is never deployed to Azure and therefore the Azure service does not see my changes (it is stuck with the default BOT file). I've deployed via Visual Studio publish and GitHub CI.
I had to manually upload the file using Visual Studio Cloud Explorer and the bot was then able to use the modified version and all is good.
Question is why is the BOT file not deployed with the rest of the bot code and how can I make sure it is deployed. Not sure if this is a bug or not?
I believe this is the fix to deploy the .bot file. In Visual Studio,
Right click on the .bot file
Click Properties
Under file properties, verify that "Copy to Output Directory" option says Copy Always.
Here's a screencap:
I'm trying to follow a tutorial on Azure deployment. I'm stuck on one of the first steps creating the App Service. It seams that the form tries to find all App Service Plans but can't, so all of Visual Studio hangs. I had to kill it with Task Manager. Any clues on how I can fix this? Do I need to create something at the Azure management console?
Had the same issue, turned out I hadn't installed Azure SDK, you'd think there would be some kind of error message, but no. Installing the SDK fixed issue
I did the steps below to resolve the issue.
Login to your Azure account
Manually create an app service (use any dummy app service name). The service plan and resource group will be created while you're creating this app service
Once you see the dummy app service created on your Azure dashboard (it will take around 1-2 minutes), open your visual studio from your pc, create your web project and check api service
--- This time, the service plan and resource group will be brought in.---
Click "Create" to create your "real" web/api project in Azure
Now you can remove the dummy service from Azure
I had the same problem. It started to work after I logged into the Azure Dashboard and manually created an App Services Web App.
Ran into the same issue a few days ago and here is how I got it working.
I had yet to create any App Services in the Azure account I had tied to Visual Studio and when I got to the Create App Service window you posted, Visual Studio would freeze.
I logged into the Azure Portal, created an App Service with a different name than the project. Once it was created, I then deleted the newly created App Service.
After doing this had no problem freezing in Visual Studio. The fix appears to be to create at least one App Service in portal before it works in VS.
I did two things at once, not sure which one got through the lock up.
1) In Visual Studio, went to File -> Account Settings then under the "All Accounts" section of the Account Settings window I reentered my credentials for the Azure account I had linked the project to. This account had a notification raised saying "We need to refresh the credentials for this account."
2) As others have said, I created a new Web App. I'm not sure this was the problem, however - I had previously created a couple other web apps and these resources were still present in my dashboard.
I have to agree with the above comments, too - the error messages provided for this are really, really poor.
Check that there are no characters that it will not accept. For instance an underscore '_'
Azure built a dummy name for me to use including an underscore which it does not accept. It was trial and error for me to find this where a simple warning would have saved lots of time.
Login to Azure Portal and create necessary resources. VS screens do not seem to work properly.
I created Api App on azure portal and my problem solved.
Same problem, however I have 3 Azure subscriptions, but even after making sure all of'em has at least one App Service it still hangs on this step. No other option than to not check the option to host.
Updating Azure SDK on VS2015 fix the problem in my case
