@tiwo19 Can you please use ``` around your error messages and code snippets to make it more readable? Thanks.

In order to help you I need more information. What do you want to achieve? And what Rasa version are you using? It would also help if you could past the code of `train_online.py` here. Thanks.

I am facing the below error as " **AttributeError: ‘function’ object has no attribute 'train\_dialogue\_model** ’. I suspect the train\_dialogue\_model function is doesn’t exist. I couldn’t find the right function to fit in. I have share the below information on the issue. Kindly help me on this.

**Version : 1.0.0rc2**

**Error:**

It seems like you are mixing up the different Rasa versions. Please have a look at our example restaurantbot:

> <https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa/blob/master/examples/restaurantbot/run.py>

The example shows how to train models and how to create an agent.
