Action_deactivate_form not working

I want to work out below story

> * greet
>     - utter_greet
> * fund_transfer
>     - bank_form
>     - form{"name": "bank_form"}
> * stop
>     - utter_ask_continue 
> * deny
>     - action_deactivate_form 
>     - form{"name": null}  

Everything works fine till utter_ask_continue (do you want to continue last action) action. When user say “No” (deny) in response to above , bot does not deactivate the form. Infact it predicts bank_form using FormPolicy.

This is strange. Do you have any other stories that might be conflicting with this one? Can you post the full debug log?

Kindly review the line where the log says

Predicted next action ‘bank_form’ with prob 1.00.

I will try to make keras policy little more deep(layer). Might be that could help.

Have you managed to resolve the issue ? I have a similar problem , Keras is predicting the form even it has been disabled and is not following the story.

I added one more layer of LSTM (i.e. stacked LSTM ) in keras policy. It somewhat solved the issue for me.

How have you done this, i have the same problem but have not found out how to configure this.

If you use self.from_text() in actions.py, you should write like this: “email”: self.from_text(not_intent = “deny”). If so, when the intent “deny” is detected, it will not be taken as a form object and stop the form. Let me know if this works!

did you resolve this issue?. can you please share solution to resolve this. in my case, deny is detected but action_deactivate_form is not called. instead it is predicting previous entity.

Thank you so much. It resolved my problem of deactivating form when a session is restarted. :slight_smile:

please try restarting the whole session!

Thanks @minnie for your reply and sorry for delay. i used not_intent=“deny” and now deny intent is detected.but now i am getting message as Failed to extract slot. in stories.md > deny, i have action_deactivate_form but don’t know if it is called.

I think I can help with that if you show me some screenshots or samples you used in your form.

I’m experiencing the same behavior. If a user triggers the cancel intent before the form is completed then i get proper text uttered back but the action server throws the error: Failed to extract slot new_project_name with action create_project_form

Any help is much appreciated!! File snippets below.

How did you do it? Can you post the code block

Would also appreciate if someone has an answer to this.

1.To deactivate a form you can fill all the slots with a invalid value like AZBNJGHJB2323JNKK like this otherwise you can use the secrets library to generate unque IDs and use that ID as a INVALID value. In submit method you can check If value is INVALID ,If it is invalid then you can just return empty list or do some followup events. And the form get deactivated. 2. Second way self.deactivate() which doesn’t worked for me.

In slot mapping, you have add something like: self.from_text(not_intent = “deny”) so that when a deny intent is detected it executes self.deactivate(). Hope that helps.
