Your input -> Why the bot don’t show the dispatcher.utter_message(“Hello world !”) message defined in the action.py ? I’m running action server with Docker from rasa/rasa-sdk:latest. rasa version : Rasa 1.5.0a1

Just to verify @vivitare you did also start up the action server as well with rasa run actions? If not the bot won’t respond

Nope, i’m using docker-compose wich is advisable in the docs : Running Rasa with Docker this is my docker-compose.yml file : version: '3.0' services: action_server: image: rasa/rasa-sdk:latest ports: - 5005:5005 volumes: - ./actions:/app/actions It is not spécified to run “rasa run actions” with docker-compose but just “docker-compose up”.

see My Code Which is Working Perfectly it may help You… from typing import Any, Text, Dict, List from rasa_sdk import Action, Tracker from rasa_sdk.executor import CollectingDispatcher class ActionHelloWorld(Action): def name(self): return "action_hello_world" def run(self, dispatcher, tracker, domain): print("Hello Your Name",(tracker.latest_message)['text']) print("Here oim ") # buttons = [] print("this is tracker",tracker) # buttons.append({"title": "username ","payload": "pok"}) # buttons.append({"title": "username1 ","payload": "ok"}) # dispatcher.utter_button_message(buttons) dispatcher.utter_message("Hello World!") return [] and need to run this python -m rasa_sdk --actions actions for run custom action server now open another cmd window in your rasa project and check rasa shell

I can’t run python -m rasa_sdk --actions actions in Docker container. The port 5055 is already in use… The custom action server is already running. I can show you the log with docker logs -f [custom action container id] : [root@wqya1726 chatbot_rasa]# docker logs -f 91e81f9ffcc 2019-11-14 15:50:29 INFO rasa_sdk.endpoint - Starting action endpoint server... 2019-11-14 15:50:29 INFO rasa_sdk.executor - Registered function for 'action_hello_world'. 2019-11-14 15:50:29 INFO rasa_sdk.endpoint - Action endpoint is up and running on http ('0.0.0.0', 5055) And after i run docker run -it --network="chatbot_rasa_default" -v $(pwd):/app rasa/fr:latest shell -vv But no response is returned by the bot and there is nothing in custom action server logs.

Oh, i tried your code and look at this the action server respond : 2019-11-15 09:08:28 INFO rasa_sdk.endpoint - Starting action endpoint server... 2019-11-15 09:08:28 INFO rasa_sdk.executor - Registered function for 'action_hello_world'. 2019-11-15 09:08:28 INFO rasa_sdk.endpoint - Action endpoint is up and running on http ('0.0.0.0', 5055) 2019-11-15 09:15:20 WARNING rasa_sdk.endpoint - Your versions of rasa and rasa_sdk might not be compatible.

Why the bot don’t respond “Hello wolrd !” ?

Use Interactive Learning and set by using rasa interactive cmd and set your intent to your custom action

rasa interactive is the right way

Custom action doesn't work

Rasa Open Source

I have tested it and it’s working with no issues.

The problem is that, you have to import the default package/library which is available in actions.py itself. Then only the dispatcher works.
