How to pass actions path when running actions server

Rasa Open Source
1

Hi there,

I’m wondering how can I pass the path to the actions folder to the rasa run actions command. The actions folder and all rasa resources are in folder front_end

I tried running rasa run actions --actions front_end/actions

Also I tried running rasa run actions --actions .\front_end\actions

Which gives me following error:

PS C:\Users\ftb16173\Documents\Chatbot> rasa run actions --actions .\front_end\actions

How can I solve this? Thanks.

I assume this is your file structure

Chatbot/
├── front_end/
    ├── actions/
        ├──__init__.py
        └── actions.py
        └── ...

You can run,

rasa run actions --actions front_end.actions

Hope this helps solve your problem.
