"Replace Dialog" action doesn't find existing dialog in 2.1

[Clooney24]

I was using a Replace Dialog action before in 1.4 that worked without problems.

In 2.1, I get this error message. (Dialog is named "Restart")

"DialogContext.BeginDialogAsync(): A dialog with an id of 'Restart' wasn't found. The dialog must be included in the current or parent DialogSet. For example, if subclassing a ComponentDialog you can call AddDialog() within your constructor."

The dialog was selected with that dropdown selector, so a misspelling can be excluded.

I tried to use "Begin Dialog" action with same dialog just to see what happens and this worked fine. So error is propably somewhere in ReplaceDialog logic.

Maybe a hint: The error texts mentioned "id" but selection is by name not by id.

@anusharr can you please try to reproduce this? It seems like the issue is that the "Replace Dialog" is not functioning properly when selecting a target dialog from the "Dialog name" dropdown.

[anusharr]

@Clooney24, can you provide screenshots of your implementation along with the code (using the Show code option at the top right of the authoring canvas)? I am able to get the Replace this dialog working in v2.1.0.

[Clooney24]

ok, here the UI:

code of the action call:

{ "value": "/reset", "actions": [ { "$kind": "Microsoft.SetProperty", "$designer": { "id": "SSmuW8" }, "property": "conversation.restartCode", "value": "=dialog.parameter+\" \"+dialog.parameter2" }, { "$kind": "Microsoft.ReplaceDialog", "$designer": { "id": "acKREH" }, "activityProcessed": false, "dialog": "Restart", "options": { "doReset": "yes" } } ] }

here UI of "Restart" dialog:

and partial code of the "Restart" dialog (removed the triggers part)

{ "$kind": "Microsoft.AdaptiveDialog", "$designer": { "id": "hpMnvG", "name": "Restart", "description": "" }, "autoEndDialog": true, "defaultResultProperty": "dialog.result", "triggers": [ ( ** hidden for sample **) ], "generator": "Restart.lg", "recognizer": "Restart.lu.qna", "id": "Restart" }

what I'm missing in the code is that input key "doReset" that is defined in block Dialog Interface. Don't know where Composer stores this information?

[cpolanish]

I'm having the same issue. It seems to be specific to one particular dialog I'm trying to get into. If I switch the action to another dialog just to test it works fine.

[anusharr]

@Clooney24, can you attach a screenshot of your project pane. I am able to get the DialogContext.BeginDialogAsync(): A dialog with an id of ' ' wasn't found. error when I try to create a dialog of my own and link it to the Replace this dialog action, but the issue gets resolved if I add a trigger under the main dialog and connect it to the dialog I am linking in the Replace this dialog action.

@cpolanish, can you elaborate more on your implementation(screenshots, steps to reproduce, etc.)?

[cpolanish]

Sure, see below:

You can see I have a replace dialog action configured to go to the dialog "findCallerByName". This step is inside the "findCallerByPhone" dialog.

Here's the code for that action { "$kind": "Microsoft.ReplaceDialog", "$designer": { "id": "WV19tb" }, "activityProcessed": true, "dialog": "findCallerByName" },

And here's the code for the findCallerByName dialog: { "$kind": "Microsoft.AdaptiveDialog", "$designer": { "id": "KUV7aW", "name": "findCallerByName", "description": "Find a caller by prompting for client name and first/last nam" }, "autoEndDialog": true, "defaultResultProperty": "dialog.result", "triggers": [ { "$kind": "Microsoft.OnBeginDialog", "$designer": { "name": "BeginDialog", "description": "", "id": "hff0EU" }, "actions": [ ... ] }, { "$kind": "Microsoft.OnDialogEvent", "$designer": { "id": "jIzycn", "name": "Store Phone" }, "event": "StorePhone", "actions": [ ... ] } ], "generator": "findCallerByName.lg", "recognizer": "findCallerByName.lu.qna", "id": "findCallerByName" }

This was working fine until recently where we just happened to notice during testing we were getting the error:

DialogContext.BeginDialogAsync(): A dialog with an id of ‘findCallerByName’ wasn’t found. The dialog must be included in the current or parent DialogSet. For example, if subclassing a ComponentDialog you can call AddDialog() within your constructor.

You don't have to do anything special, just let the bot get to that action. Like I mentioned, oddly, other replace dialog actions pointing to the same "findCallerByName" dialog that are in other dialogs work fine, and changing this particular action to point to a different dialog also works fine, it just seems to be the combination of pointing to "findCallerByName" from the "findCallerByPhone" dialog that is having an issue. I tried recreating the action and still get the same result.

[anusharr]

@cpolanish, apologize for the delay in response. Can you specify more on the part where your above implementation was working fine and then you started to get the error. Did you make any other changes after which the error started showing up?

[cpolanish]

I did not, only thing that changed was I upgraded to 2.1 (at least to the best of my knowledge). Unfortunately I ended up scrapping that bot and have rebuilt it (had a handful of random issues I was facing, figured it was better to just start fresh), but still happy to provide whatever insight I can.

@Clooney24, can you attach a screenshot of your project pane. I am able to get the DialogContext.BeginDialogAsync(): A dialog with an id of ' ' wasn't found. error when I try to create a dialog of my own and link it to the Replace this dialog action, but the issue gets resolved if I add a trigger under the main dialog and connect it to the dialog I am linking in the Replace this dialog action.

@cpolanish, can you elaborate more on your implementation(screenshots, steps to reproduce, etc.)?

What do you mean by "add a trigger under the main dialog and connect it to the dialog"? How did you connect the dialog to the trigger? I have a trigger in the main dialog with another Replace dialog action to same dialog, but this didn't resolve this issue.

[Clooney24]

This is really urgent, we need to migrate to 2.1 quickly because of some other features, but we can't until this issue is resolved.

[Clooney24]

@anusharr I'm happy to offer a screen-sharing session if that helps.

[anusharr]

Adding @boydc2014 for any further clarifications.

@Clooney24 @cpolanish, since the Replace Dialog action was working in v1.4, it seems be a regression on the SDK side. A quick workaround at this point would be to add "dialogs" : ["the dialog name which is configured in the Replace dialog action "] to the main dialog code to manually link the dialog to the main dialog . Let me attach screenshots of the repro I tried on my end to make it work for a better understanding:

Please give this a try and let me know if it unblocks you. I will update the thread once I have more info on the fix.

[Clooney24]

Hi @anusharr,

thanks for this informations, but this workaround doesn't work and shows a very strange behaviour.

First, I get a warning "Property dialogs is not allowed":

When I start anyway and test the ReplaceDialog calling the "Restart" dialog, I got an error that references to id "Restart2". In my whole application there is no id "Restart2".

[Clooney24]

here a stacktrace, looks that there are some iterations, as ReplaceDialog is called several times? (LocaleSelection, ActivityLogger and ProactiveMessaging are our custom components)

[Clooney24]

And it’s not bound to only one specific dialog. Had same issue with other dialogs also.

[anusharr]

@Clooney24, thanks for the detailed response. For more clarification, are you trying this out on a newly created bot in v2.1.0 or you migrated the already existing bot from v1.4 to v2.1.0 and made the changes?

@boydc2014, I tried the workaround (add "dialogs" : ["the dialog name which is configured in the Replace dialog action "] to the main dialog code to manually link the dialog to the main dialog) and it worked as expected and I do not get the warning "Property dialogs is not allowed". The user has pasted their stack trace above.

[boydc2014]

This is a known issue in SDK side that the ReplaceDialog is invoked from the parent context (which may don't have the target context) https://github.com/microsoft/botbuilder-dotnet/pull/5656

[Clooney24]

Looks like it's fixed since June 18th but nothing happend since then (10 weeks)? After all, this is a bug in a core functionality, that breaks any bot migrating from 1.4 that is using ReplaceDialog.

Is there any estimate when this PR will be merged and released?

[a-b-r-o-w-n]

@Clooney24 I have reached out to the SDK engineers about that PR. There is no update as of now.

[mrivera-ms]

The PR 5656 (dotnet) has been merged and will be available in the next release.
