Failed to use channel connectors - Rasa docker

Hello forum,

I am using the Installation Guide with Rasa X 0.39.3 and Rasa 2.6.0. Since I started using Rasa (2.2.10), I tried to implement a channel connector and it has always failed. I want to implement rest or socketio

First, here is my credentials.yml :

# This file contains the credentials for the voice & chat platforms
# which your bot is using.
# https://rasa.com/docs/rasa/messaging-and-voice-channels
rest:
  # you don't need to provide anything here - this channel doesn't
  # require any credentials

socketio:
  user_message_evt: user_uttered
  bot_message_evt: bot_uttered
  session_persistence: true

# This entry is needed if you are using Rasa X. The entry represents credentials
# for the Rasa X "channel", i.e. Talk to your bot and Share with guest testers.
rasa:
  url: "http://localhost:5002/api"

Then, here is of my docker-compose.yml :

In “x-rasa-services”, I added the parameter “–credentials” but nothing happen.

Here is a image of the available routes in the container rasa-production_1 :

When i execute rasa run --cors “*” inside the container rasa-x_1, i can see the usage of credentials.yml:

In both cases, when i want to call a route, from localhost or outside, the result is always an error 404.

Any idea what’s wrong? I’ll update this post with any complementary informations I have.

Thanks in advance.

I found the solution !

I had tried by importing credentials.yml in rasa-production/app, then I thought that rasa-production was connecting to the project on rasa-x (rasa-x/app/git/1/) when it is going to search in rasa-x/app/. I was misled by the fact that the stub code of the channels connector appears in the credentials.yml of the project and not in the general one.

To summarize, you have to implement the channels connectors in rasa-x/app/credentials.yml
