Yes I can edit thru UI… but I have to do more than that.

1. I am curious where these files are being updated when I edit thru UI
2. I have to keep one py file at the same location.
3. Import py file in config.yml as custom component

Yes @nik202

I am not connected to git for rasa model. Instead using base rasa model which was installed during rasa-x installation. Rasa x folder contains all other files like credentials, endpoints etc but not config.yml.

1. where can i locate and edti it so that i can imort custom component?
2. where to keep cusom component py file? is it at same location where credential.yml is located?

Thanks

@poojavi This Yes means.

@poojavi Are you sure at the time of creating the rasa project using `rasa init` you are unable to get the config.yml, if not create the new file by the name config.yml in the same project folder and train the model.

@poojavi What do you mean by custom component py file did you means action.py file? please explain.

- Yes means i am trying to locate config.yml
- while installing rasa-x at docker using script, u do not need to install rasa as a separate thing… so no rasa init. Its all using UI.
- we can add py files as custom component as a part of pipeline … not actions.py.
