The card displayed for Help restricts the number of buttons to 5

[5r33]

• Webex Bot version:0.3.1
• Python version:3.8
• Operating System: Windows

Description

In the example.py tried to add commands to the bot using add_command.

• the card displays a maximum of 5 - irrespective of the number of commands added.
• the text command does work confirming that the command was added but the problem is just the displayed commands

  What I Did

  1. added ~10 commands with add_command in the example.py

     Paste the command(s) you ran and the output.
     If there was a crash, please include the traceback here.

This seems to be a limitation of the Adaptive Cards template used by Cisco and not something the bot can get around.

As a work around, you could replace the built-in help command with your own that just outputs a text list of the command_keyword and help_message. (This is what I do) See issue #25 for talk about replacing the default help command.

Looks like this can gotten around by building the adaptive card differently.

Of note, I saw the 5 button limitation in the Windows client. On the phone, I was able to see all buttons rendered.

The internal help command may be able to get around the limitation by not using "actions", but instead using multiple "ActionSet" blocks, with a max of 5 "Action.Submit" entries per block. It doesn't format as nicely, but would generate all of the buttons.
