Create 'hello world' bot using Rivescript module within Botpress #12

Open lisawilliams opened 6 years ago

See this tutorial: https://github.com/botpress/botpress-examples/tree/master/hello-world-rivescript-bot

Rivescript already installed (see Issue #10 ) for details.

Was able to get hello-world working in Rivescript.

Note: the Botpress server, which we start by running bp start at the command line, must be shut down (Ctrl+C) and restarted (bp start) at the command line in the root of the bot directory before our bot will pick up any changes to its responses and behavior.

Sadly, adding this breaks our Quick Responses (see Issue #4).

We may have to rebuild these in Rivescript, and in fact we may have to choose 100% UMM markup or Rivescript.

Responds to Issue #12.

Ran git push heroku master. I closed down the localhost botpress server and ngrok to be absolutely certain that Facebook was talking to our Heroku instance, and not ngrok locally.

However, the changes to the bot's script in content.yml did not appear to take -- it responded "Hello human" rather than "Hello, you have just successfully done "Hello World!" 🎉 even though that line was the response to hello in content.yml.

I was able to fix this by logging into the herokuapp.com instance of botpress for the Trollbusters bot and visiting modules/botpress-rivescript and modifying the script there.

However, running heroku restart wipes all the changes to this file (or does it? I am on a super-slow internet connection and it's possible that the save button is not completing the action when I take it.

OK. Got home to better internet connection. It's not the connection that's causing the problem where the .rive file that gives the bot's responses gets reset to the default every time heroku restart is run.
