Issue: Hey! Whenever I try to run my rasa project , I get an error stating that there are duplicate keys in yaml file and it takes the empty domain file

Error (including full traceback):

/root/foodieChatbot/foodieRasa/lib/python3.8/site-packages/rasa/utils/common.py:384: UserWarning: Loading domain from 'domain.yml' failed. Using empty domain. Error: 'The provided yaml file contains a duplicated key: 'while constructing a mapping
  in "<unicode string>", line 37, column 7
found duplicate key "text" with value "Hi, How can I help you!" (original value: "hey there! How may i help you")
  in "<unicode string>", line 38, column 7

To suppress this check see:
    http://yaml.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#duplicate-keys

Duplicate keys will become an error in future releases, and are errors
by default when using the new API.

This is probably the most relevant part of the error

It’s a bit difficult to see where line 38 column 7 is, could you use a code block to attach the file (the </> symbol), so that it can render properly?

I would assume it’s this bit: utter_greet: text: “hey there! How may i help you” text: “Hi, How can I help you!” text: “Hey, How is it going. How May I help you Today”, which is difficult to see if it’s valid due to the missing newlines, but that seems to be where the issue is.

@rudi is right. utterances are a list, so you need a - before the text. Otherwise it is interpreted as a dict, hence the duplicate key error. You should update your responses to look as so:

responses:
  - utter_ask_cuisine:
     - text: "what kind of cuisine would you like?"
  - utter_ask_howcanhelp:
     - text: "how can I help you?"
  - utter_ask_location:
     - text: "In what location?"
  - utter_default:
     - text: "i cannot understand"
  - utter_goodbye:
     - text: "goodbye :)"
  - utter_greet:
     - text: "hey there! How may i help you"
     - text: "Hi, How can I help you!"
     - text: "Hey, How is it going. How May I help you Today"

Yes, I realized that, Thank you. I was able to train nlu and core, however when I run (rasa shell ) I am getting following error:

Looks like it is parsing with a RegexInterpreter instead of an NLUInterpreter (intent classified as the text you provided)

How did you train your bot?

I have found the solution. Had not trained my nlu, plus my stories were not in sync, its working now. You can close the issue.
