Any help will be appreciated, Thanks.

Hi,

thanks for raising this. This seems to be an error in the internal serialization component. I'll have a look at the issue and come back to you.

Hi @nrao-nmdp

the issue is that the choices parameter in the Choices class (see docs here) requires a list of Choice(see the documentation here) objects not just a list of strings.

The following code works.

import json

from pyadaptivecards.card import AdaptiveCard
from pyadaptivecards.inputs import Text, Number, Choices
from pyadaptivecards.components import TextBlock, Choice
from pyadaptivecards.actions import Submit

from webexteamssdk import WebexTeamsAPI

api = WebexTeamsAPI()
greeting = TextBlock("Hey hello there! I am a adaptive card")

first_name = Text('first_name', placeholder="First Name")
age = Number('age', placeholder="Age")

c = Choice("asdf", "asdf")
choice_set = Choices(id = "instance-choice", choices=[c], style="compact")
submit = Submit(title="Send me!")
card = AdaptiveCard(body=[greeting, first_name, age, choice_set], actions=[submit])

attachment = {
    "contentType": "application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive",
    "content": card.to_dict()
}

api.messages.create(toPersonEmail="mneiding@cisco.com", text="Fallback", attachments=[attachment])

The error message clearly needs improvement. I have opened an issue(#4) for this.
