Could not complete training request as your training data contains retrieval intents of the form ‘intent/response\_key’. Please use the CLI to train your model (`rasa train`). 2019-12-03 09:46:56 ERROR sanic.root - Exception occurred while handling uri: ‘[http://localhost:5002/api/projects/default/models/jobs](http://localhost:5002/api/projects/default/models/jobs)’ Traceback (most recent call last): File “e:\work\work\python\rasabot\botenv\lib\site-packages\sanic\app.py”, line 942, in handle\_request response = await response File “e:\work\work\python\rasabot\botenv\lib\site-packages\rasax\community\api\decorators.py”, line 177, in decorated\_function return await await\_and\_return\_response(args, kwargs, request) File “e:\work\work\python\rasabot\botenv\lib\site-packages\rasax\community\api\decorators.py”, line 107, in await\_and\_return\_response response = await response File “e:\work\work\python\rasabot\botenv\lib\site-packages\rasax\community\api\blueprints\models.py”, line 178, in train\_model content = await stack\_service.start\_training\_process() File “e:\work\work\python\rasabot\botenv\lib\site-packages\rasax\community\services\stack\_service.py”, line 254, in start\_training\_process raise ValueError(“Unable to train on data containing retrieval intents.”) ValueError: Unable to train on data containing retrieval intents.
