I am not sure why this is happening. What should i name my env file as? maybe that is the problem?

You are missing the credentials for conversation.

In a .env file:

CONVERSATION_USERNAME
CONVERSATION_PASSWORD

[hborg004]

@germanattanasio i have an .env file but im not sure i have it configured correctly. how should it be named?

my env file has this

# Environment variables
WORKSPACE_ID=XXX
CONVERSATION_USERNAME=XXX
CONVERSATION_PASSWORD=XXXX
#Optional params, delete any which are not used!
#Optional params to enable Speech to text
STT_USERNAME=
STT_PASSWORD=
#Optional cloudant URL for loggin
CLOUDANT_URL=
#If cloudant url is specified a user name and password must be specified to secure the logging endpoints
LOG_USER=
LOG_PASS=

but i dont think i named it correctly

[germanattanasio]

call it .env and make sure is in the root folder

@germanattanasio thank you, it worked. i had to run it on linux because for some reason windows did not allow me to name it .env

What was the name of the .env file you used ? does it have to be a particular name matching anything else ? I get the "Error: Argument error: username and password are required unless use_unauthentic ated is set" error even with a .env file (called car.env). I am running in Windows 7.

You need a .env file in the root of your project. On Sat, Feb 18, 2017 at 1:10 AM kwiatks notifications@github.com wrote:
