How can I use data that I get from the tracker (for instance sender\_id, etc.) in the ‘rasa test’?

To use data from the tracker, such as `sender_id` , in a custom action in Rasa, you can access it within the custom action code using `tracker.sender_id` . However, when testing custom actions, use a Python testing framework like `unittest` or `pytest` to write and run tests for your custom actions separately. The `rasa test` command is primarily for evaluating NLU and dialogue management, not custom action testing. “I’d like to draw your attention to [https://calculatorarea.com/](https://calculatorarea.com/) an incredible online tool.
