Rasa Open Source
1

Hello, I’m facing some issues with syntax error with custom actions in rasa open source , please help me out . I have attached files related to this issue

## this is the actions.py file
from typing import Any, Text, Dict, List
from rasa_sdk import Action, Tracker
from rasa_sdk.executor import CollectingDispatcher
class area_options(Action):
    def name (self) -> Text:
        return "action_area_buttons"

    def run(self, dispatcher: CollectingDispatcher, tracker: Tracker, domain: Dict[Text,Any]) -> List[Dict[Text, Any]]:
        value = tracker.get_slot("area_travel")
        
        if value == 'Domestic': 
            dispatcher.utter_message(response= "utter_domestic_packages")
        elif value == 'International':                     
            dispatcher.utter_message(response= "utter_international_packages")

Hi @Venkat

Class always will be capital

class AreaOptions(Action):

Use template rather then response, if new update is enforce you to use response then fine

dispatcher.utter_message(template= "utter_domestic_packages")
dispatcher.utter_message(template= "utter_international_packages")

mention

return [ ] at the end

ok , let me try that

Actually I got this error while training a model , so I don’t think it does include actions .py file in the training process

@Venkat I hope you activated the conda environment ? and then running the command?

@Venkat type python --version share output?

14

my python version is 3.8

(Rasaproject) venkat@venkat:~/Desktop/Rasa$ python --version
Python 3.8.10
15

@Venkat where strange :thinking:

@Venkat can you quickly create new condo environment please

  1. conda create -n “Your_Environment_Name” python=3.7 or 3.8
  2. conda activate Your_Environment_Name
  3. pip install rasa==2.8.1

Share me output please.

16

can I use python environment

17

Yes you can use a regular Python virtual environment or even no virtual environment at all (not recommended if you want to have multiple Python projects).

Just try to create a fresh venv and do:

pip install rasa rasa-x -i https://pypi.rasa.com/simple

If you get any error (in red) that you cannot solve, please get back to us.
