I can not find how to use my bot through the console anymore. The ConsoleInputChannel Class is no longer in rasa_core.channels.console. What is going on here? [13%20PM]

It has changed, look at the run script to see how to run in the command line now: https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa_core/blob/master/rasa_core/run.py#L260 I’ll update the Migration Guide to make note of how to run the bot on the command line

Akelad, you are amazing. Could you look at this topic as well for me? http://forum.rasa.com/t/one-conversation-multiple-agents-and-routing/709/2 I would like to know how to implement some sort of routing between agents in the same conversation. Thank you.

So I know you have all already figured this out, but i will share this anyway. I have a python script which wraps common tasks like training running etc. Migrating from core 9 to core 11 caused me a small amount of work to get that going again. My custom “run” method for command line (in my script) in V9 looked like this: def run(dbug=False): if dbug: init_debug_logging() from rasa_core.run import create_input_channel agent = main("models/dialog",nlu_model="models/nlu/current",channel="cmdline") agent = Agent.load("models/dialog", "models/nlu/current") input_channel = create_input_channel("cmdline", None, None) agent.handle_channel(input_channel) return agent Now (V11) it looks like this: def run(dbug=False): if dbug: init_debug_logging() interpreter = NaturalLanguageInterpreter.create("models/nlu/current") from rasa_core.utils import EndpointConfig action_endpoint = EndpointConfig(url="http://localhost:5056/webhook") agent = Agent.load("models/dialog", interpreter=interpreter,action_endpoint=action_endpoint) rasa_core.run.serve_application(agent,channel='cmdline')

Similarly, I had code to start interactive training from my script. This broke in V11 because of ConsoleInputChannel. So my V9 Version was: agent = Agent("domain.yml", policies=[KerasPolicy()]) stories_file = "data\stories.md" stories_data = agent.load_data(stories_file) output_path = "models\dialog" if online: import rasa_core.run if nlu: agent.interpreter = RasaNLUInterpreter("models/nlu/current") else: agent.interpreter = RegexInterpreter() agent.train_online( stories_data, input_channel=ConsoleInputChannel(), epochs=100, model_path=output_path) And my V11 Version now looks like: from rasa_core.train import online interpreter = NaturalLanguageInterpreter.create("models/nlu/current") from rasa_core.utils import EndpointConfig action_endpoint = EndpointConfig(url="http://localhost:5056/webhook") agent = Agent.load("models/dialog", interpreter=interpreter, action_endpoint=action_endpoint) online.serve_agent(agent) Actually the same as the run code, but with online.serve_agent() instead of rasa_core.run.serve_application()

Saved me a lot of time, thank you!

Hi @jloutz , I am new to Rasa chatbot and have so many questions in my mind for which I am figuring the answers. Can you help me figure out a main question in version 11. My project has to integrate our own messenger with rasa chatbot. For that I just want to make a http request to get the user request and send back the response. Is it necessary to use webhook? Basically I don’t want to use Blueprint as well we webhook. I just want to make few http request and response. Can you help me figure this out? Regards, Nandhini

In this line of code - rasa_core.run.serve_application(agent,channel='cmdline') I am getting this error - module ‘rasa_core’ has no attribute ‘run’

ConsoleInputChannel no longer exist

Rasa Open Source

Hi there - not really something I have special knowledge about other than the rasa docs. I am sure the rasa team will be able to help. Good luck!
