Rasa not asking for extra slots

Rasa Open Source

Rasa is not asking for extra slots. It is only asking the first one

my action file is:

class ValidateFormCreateCan(FormValidationAction):

def name(self) -> Text:

    return 'validate_form_reg_can'

async def required_slots(

    self,

    slots_mapped_in_domain: List[Text],

    dispatcher: "CollectingDispatcher",

    tracker: "Tracker",

    domain: "DomainDict",

) -> Optional[List[Text]]:

    if tracker.get_slot("SAMEADDRESS") == "False":

        print(tracker.get_slot("SAMEADDRESS"))

        slots_mapped_in_domain = slots_mapped_in_domain + ['PERMANENTADDRESSSTATE'] + tn_state_slots

    else:

        print(tracker.get_slot("SAMEADDRESS"))

        slots_mapped_in_domain = slots_mapped_in_domain + tn_state_slots

    print(slots_mapped_in_domain)

    return slots_mapped_in_domain

async def extract_PERMANENTADDRESSSTATES(

    self,

    dispatcher: "CollectingDispatcher",

    tracker: "Tracker",

    domain: "DomainDict",

) -> Dict[Text, Any]:

    return {"PERMANENTADDRESSSTATE" : tracker.latest_message.get("text")}

domain file for forms is: form_reg_can:

The Rasa docs mention that for any action which extends FormValidationAction, “you need to write functions named validate_<slot_name> for every extracted slot.” (Forms). I wonder if that would fix the problem. You would need to include something like this:

    def validate_SLOT_NAME(self, slot_value: Any, dispatcher: CollectingDispatcher, tracker: Tracker, domain: DomainDict, ) -> Dict[Text, Any]:
        return {"SLOT_NAME": slot_value}

for every slot where essentially no validation occurs.

We had a decorator for that i think that is not a problem

I see. When you say that Rasa is only asking for the first slot, do you mean that the form literally stops after the very first slot? Or is your problem that Rasa isn’t asking for PERMANENTADDRESSSTATE after SAMEADDRESS is set to False? Because if that’s the case, you would need to change the order of the last line of the if-block to something like this:

slots_mapped_in_domain = ['PERMANENTADDRESSSTATE'] + slots_mapped_in_domain + tn_state_slots

so that PERMANENTADDRESSSTATE would be the next slot asked.

5

No it is asking for permanent state and then stopping it is not asking for other things like th state or other state slots. I don’t know what is wrong with that :sneezing_face:

6

I think there may be a typo on this line:

async def extract_PERMANENTADDRESSSTATES(

Did you mean to add that extra ‘S’ at the end?

7

No not like that it is asking properly only but I’m not getting the proper way to extract it. permanent address state is a button response. But no where in Rasa documentation they said method to extract from button response

8

Well the way to set slots from buttons would be something like this:

utter_ask_SLOT_NAME:
  - text: "Please choose one."
    buttons:
      - title: "AL"
        payload: '/inform{"PERMANENTADDRESSSTATE": "Alaska"}'
      - title: "AZ"
        payload: '/inform{"PERMANENTADDRESSSTATE": "Arizona"}'
      ...

And if you wanted to set buttons within a custom action or validation action check out the solution here: Buttons without text

Ok Thank you for that I’ll try that one. But if we use this should we definitely write a extract method for that or just a response in domain file? and a small doubt what is /inform there is that an intent or … :sweat_smile::sweat_smile:

10

Yes, it would be /intent_name. I don’t think you’d need an extract method for your case.
