Hi
I was not able to have the right result in my project for Duckling, I tested with the financial-demo
in Rasa (I am using Rasa X)
Typed
next week
Got
in Rasa => slot{“time”:“next week”}
with curl
url -XPOST http://localhost:8000/parse --data “locale=en_XX&text=next week”
[{“body”:“next week”,“start”:0,“value”:{“values”:[{“value”:“2020-05-25T00:00:00.000-07:00”,“grain”:“week”,“type”:“value”}],“value”:“2020-05-25T00:00:00.000-07:00”,“grain”:“week”,“type”:“value”},“end”:9,“dim”:“time”,“latent”:false}]
Typed
today
Got
slot{“time”:“2020-05-19T00:00:00.000-07:00”}
with curl
curl -XPOST http://localhost:8000/parse --data “locale=en_XX&text=today”
[{“body”:“today”,“start”:0,“value”:{“values”:[{“value”:“2020-05-19T00:00:00.000-07:00”,“grain”:“day”,“type”:“value”}],“value”:“2020-05-19T00:00:00.000-07:00”,“grain”:“day”,“type”:“value”},“end”:5,“dim”:“time”,“latent”:false}]
I was expecting to have the date and not the text in the slot.
Moreover, it seems that duckling return the same format

Hmm, that is unexpected. Did you possibly add examples of time entities in your NLU data? If so, duckling and Rasa might be disagreeing about
Have you tried running this in debug mode? A closer look at the logs would be helpful in figuring out where the problem is.

Thank you for the reply I used the financial demo in order to avoid any error on my side.
Have you had the opportunity to give it a try with the financial demo? In order to see if you have the same behaviour.
In the debug mode the information is there, however, the slot takes only the text not the date
When I enter “today” I have the date if I enter “next week” I have the text in the slot

Hi @Neofita . I have just tried to replicate you error, but duckling seems to setting the slot with the actual date rather than text for me (for both "“today” and “next week” inputs).
Could you share the output of the debug logs for the case when it didn’t work for you? I would be very interested in seeing the logs for the processing of the message “Next week”.
You can run you assistant in a debug model using the command rasa shell --debug

Hi @Neofita . Thank you so much for sharing these details, it makes it very easy to try and find the root cause for this.
However, I am not able to replicate this myself - the slot gets set correctly every time:

I am running the latest version of the financial assistant. The only difference is that I am using the latest rasa version too rasa==1.10.0, but to me it looks like it’s duckling that is not returning a proper converted date (for the “next week” it should return the first day of the following week).
Would you mind to try testing it once again in a fresh virtual environment with rasa==1.10.1 and the latest pull of financial bot?
