Custom Action invalid json response from server

Rasa Open Source
6

@mloubser I’m currently using Elixir code to run a Phoenix HTTP server. As seen below, I’m creating the proper structure to be returned and JSON encoding it.

Here are the outputs from my code:

Struct: %{events: [], responses: [%{text: "Hello world from server"}]}
Json string: "{\"responses\":[{\"text\":\"Hello world from server\"}],\"events\":[]}"

chat_action is the entry point of the HTTP request

  def chat_action(conn, body = _params) do
    case Rasa.handle_action(body) do
      nil ->
        send_resp(conn, 400, "error")

      result ->
        response = Poison.encode!(result)

        put_resp_header(conn, "content-type", "application/json")
        send_resp(conn, 200, response)
    end
  end

  def handle_action(message) do
    case Map.get(message, "next_action") do
      nil ->
        Logger.error("[rasa] no action")
        nil

      "action_test" ->
        %{
          responses: [construct_response("Hello world from server")],
          events: []
        }
    end
  end

  def construct_response(text) do
    %{
      text: text
    }
  end
