Hello everyone, I use an agent in my bot, but with the new version of rasa (rasa 1.0) I am getting a wired message. My basic implementation is like this:

```
interpreter = RasaNLUInterpreter('./models/nlu/current')
action_endpoint = EndpointConfig(url="http://localhost:5055/webhook")
agent = Agent.load('./models/dialogue', interpreter=interpreter, action_endpoint=action_endpoint)

```

and the agent handles the messages using the handle\_text function as in:

`reply = agent.handle_text(userMsg)`

so, right now I when I use this method I am getting the following message:

`<coroutine object Agent.handle_text at 0x133236af0>`

This is not an error message, it is just the output of the function and this is not what it used to be in the older version of Rasa that I’ve used. I’d really appreciate any help from you guys.
