Roles and groups: confused about domain format

HermanH · June 30, 2021, 9:18pm

Today I started using the rasa feature groups, for I think it’s a great feature to on one hand influence conversation by entity and on the other hand influence conversation on a common property of some entities, i.e. belonging to a group.

But I run into an issue.

According to the docs, if I understand well, I should define the groups in the domain file as well as in the nlu trainingdata.

My domain looks like:

entities:
- wachtwoord
- gebruikersnaam
- systeem:
    groups:
      - windows
      - mainframe
- applicatie:
    groups:
      - mainframe-applicatie

When doing so, training gives me this error:

core/domain.py", line 248, in merge_lists
    return sorted(list(set(l1 + l2)))
TypeError: unhashable type: 'dict'

When leaving out the “-” on highest level, I don’t get the error:

entities:
- wachtwoord
- gebruikersnaam
systeem:
    groups:
      - windows
      - mainframe
applicatie:
    groups:
      - mainframe-applicatie

So without these dashes, training won’t fail, but then when running rasa interactive, I get the warning “Interpreter parsed an entity ‘systeem’ which is not defined in the domain.”

So, is the doc wrong or is this a bug, or am I doing wrong?

And what about the yaml syntax for dict in list? i.e. the entities “wachtwoord” and “gebruikersnaam” are explicitly denoted as list-items by there dashes, whereas systeem and applicatie aren’t.

I have the same problem: the ‘unashable type’ error occurs when role are added in the domain.yml file for entities

entities:
   - people
   - number:
       roles:
       - min
       - max
   - color:
       roles:
       - favorite

Any solution for that? Is there an error in the documentation?

Upgrading to Rasa 2.7 did not fix the problem, nor did upgrading to Rasa 2.8:

Any advice for this problem? Thanks

For me the problem has been resolved writing the roles as dictionaries:

entities:
   - people
   - number:
       - roles:
         - min
         - max
   - color:
       - roles:
         - favorite

Maybe the same is true for groups.
