FormAction From rasa_core_sdk ERROR with import

importing FormAction from Rasa Core sdk throws an error.

from rasa_core_sdk.forms import FormAction

Gives me the error stack of:

Traceback (most recent call last):

NotImplementedError

Why is it Raising this NotImplementedError if no where in my code I have created an instance of this class ?

How are you using it, if you’ve imported it?

I am running

make run-actions

From the Makefile. If that import is at the top of the file, that error is thrown.

It throws the error before I even used it like

class CustomAction(FormAction):

can you post your actions.py file?

I solved the problem by manually pasting the FormAction Class and all FormFields into my actual actions.py file.
