Hi @azharameen

what does the following commands output?

pip --version
pip show pymongo

Regards Julian

Importing the package in your action.py like import pymongo

pip --version

pip 19.1.1 from /home/ameen/Documents/ej-bot/rasaenv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip (python 3.6)

pip show pymongo

Hi @azharameen

ok - I guess the following happens:

You are actually using Docker to run your bot and you are maybe deriving it from the official rasa images. If so, pymongo is not natively part of the environment, the Dockerfile/compose-file creates. If you want to use it, you could, e.g. extend the currently used rasa image with:

FROM rasa/rasa:latest-full

RUN pip install pymongo

ENTRYPOINT ["rasa"]

The background is, that your pip enviroment is started locally, whereas docker creates its own environment in which your local pip/environment is not natively reachable.

DockerFile installation didn’t work for me, but i logged into the container and manually installed pymongo. This worked for me.

@JulianGerhard Thanks for the solution.

Hi @azharameen . I had a same problem. Can you show me how fix issue? Thank you very much
