Unknown component name

[Deprecated] Rasa X Community Edition

I am trying to learn how to implement the sentiment analysis component following this tutorial: https://blog.rasa.com/enhancing-rasa-nlu-with-custom-components/

I created a file called sentiment.py and placed it in the root of my project folder.

I am getting this error:

Exception: Failed to find component class for 'sentiment.SentimentAnalyzer'. Unknown component name. Check your configured pipeline and make sure the mentioned component is not misspelled. If you are creating your own component, make sure it is either listed as part of the `component_classes` in `rasa.nlu.registry.py` or is a proper name of a class in a module.

If I add this to the bin/rasa file it works but that is not a good way to do it:

import sys

sys.path.append(“/Users/nickopris/Documents/work/rasax/bot”)

I understand that my new file is not visible to Rasa but I don’t know how to register it otherwise.

Full message below:

Any ideas what I can do here?

I encountered the same problem, running python3 -m rasa train instead of rasa train helps me, but I think it is not the best solution.

If someone have this issue, use this command

`export PYTHONPATH=/path_to_your_project_dir/:$PYTHONPATH`

path_to_your_project_dir - is the path to your sentiment.py file. This will solve the issue.

I have the same issue and I try this but doesn’t resolve the problem it still can’t find my component
