Can't add BF skil bot due to manifest pasring error

Hi,

 

I followed these steps  to connect to BF skill from my PVA bot and, I'm stuck on parsing manifest step. I am not sure what is wrong in my manifest file. Based on the error in screen shot 'We ran into problems getting the Skill manifest' it looks like validation step 'Validate if Skill manifest can be retrieved' is failed. Does this mean this pva tool is not able to download the manifest from the URL location?

I actually uploaded sample manifest to azure blob, created shared signature, and able to see manifest file is available anonymously as well. Not sure still why PVA is not able to get it from provided URL.

 

Thoughts?

Is  this related to The Azure AD Challenge mentioned here ? 

It is super important to note that to add a skill to PVA, the user signed in PVA can only add a skill that is in her/his tenant. Also, there's an issue which is being tracked by the Product team i.e. if you're developing a bot using Skill's template so it won't populate the home page of App Registration with the bot's URL

 

The skill bot I;m trying to connect to PVA is hosted on local using ngrok so I dont understand how 'user signed in' is even valid here.

 

@pawan-msftany help is much appreciated. I saw you on other thread I mentioned.

@pawan-msft, Thank you for the details. W.r.t error I was getting I got it resolved today with following updates in V4 skill. ( I was not using v3 sdk bot )

 

I am using node v4 sdk, typescript skill bot.

 

Class: /node_modules/botbuilder-core/lib/telemetryLoggerMiddleware.js

 

Screen Shot 2020-03-25 at 4.42.12 PM.png

 

Solution: latest v4 js sdk code break on line #157 and #158 so I had to comment those and, assign empty string to recipient.name and recipient.id.   Basically activity object doesn't have recipient object popuated so it simply throws an error.

 

Here is the stack trace:

 

TranscriptLoggerMiddleware logActivity failed: "Cannot read property 'id' of undefined"
transcriptLogger.ts:165

I came across thishttps://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Virtual-Agents-Forum/Can-t-connect-my-PVA-to-the-Skill/m-p...

But still can't understand if I can connect my local running skill.

Okay here is my latest updated after trying few things, I understood from above error that manifest URL I am putting there is somehow not in reach by PVA. Not sure what's the deal there so I uploaded json here http://myjson.com/

and now looks like after re-running validation process, I am getting different error.

This skill couldn't be validated. Review details and try again

Errors (1)
There's a mismatch in your skill endpoints.
Contact your skill developer. Learn more

 

In the documentation it says 'Contact your Skills developer. Please add in the Manifest URL to the Home Page in the Azure Portal and re-validate the Skill.' so I did this part.

After re-running validation step on PVA I'm getting same error.

I was able to resolve above errors and now stuck at following. 'The manifest is incompatible.'

I have used same json format and structure mentioned herehttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/skill-implement-skill?view=azure-bot-service-4.0&... and just updated endpointUrl andmsAppId

error simple says 'Something went wrong while checking your skill.'

Sorry to see you go through this experience. We need to improve our documentation and provided better guidance to folks trying to build skills and integrate with PVA. As a first step, we're making the errors we emit a bit more self explanatory in our documentation. While our official documentation page will update in a few days, here's a sneak peak at the changes you'll see.

 

With respect to the error you're seeing ("Something went wrong while checking your Skill.") -- it seems that your bot is a V3 SDK bot. We only officially support bots built using v4 SDK at this time. There are some known issues with wrapping a v3 SDK bot as a Skill and integrating it with PVA. Please open a github issue here for further help,

These subscriptions ensure you receive automated messages about the most recent posts and replies. Even better, there are multiple ways you can subscribe to content and boards in the community! (Please note: if you have created an AAD (Azure Active Directory) account you won't be able to receive e-mail notifications.)   Subscribing to a Category  When you're looking at the entire category, select from the Options drop down and choose Subscribe.     You can then choose to Subscribe to all of the boards or select only the boards you want to receive notifications. When you're satisfied with your choices, click Save.     Subscribing to a Topic You can also subscribe to a single topic by clicking Subscribe from the Options drop down menu, while you are viewing the topic or in the General board overview, respectively.     Subscribing to a Label Find the labels at the bottom left of a post.From a particular post with a label, click on the label to filter by that label. This opens a window containing a list of posts with the label you have selected. Click Subscribe.     Note: You can only subscribe to a label at the board level. If you subscribe to a label named 'Copilot' at board #1, it will not automatically subscribe you to an identically named label at board #2. You will have to subscribe twice, once at each board.   Bookmarks Just like you can subscribe to topics and categories, you can also bookmark topics and boards from the same menus! Simply go to the Topic Options drop down menu to bookmark a topic or the Options drop down to bookmark a board. The difference between subscribing and bookmarking is that subscriptions provide you with notifications, whereas bookmarks provide you a static way of easily accessing your favorite boards from the My subscriptions area.   Managing & Viewing Your Subscriptions & Bookmarks To manage your subscriptions, click on your avatar and select My subscriptions from the drop-down menu.     From the Subscriptions & Notifications tab, you can manage your subscriptions, including your e-mail subscription options, your bookmarks, your notification settings, and your email notification format.     You can see a list of all your subscriptions and bookmarks and choose which ones to delete, either individually or in bulk, by checking multiple boxes.     A Note on Following Friends on Mobile Adding someone as a friend or selecting Follow in the mobile view does not allow you to subscribe to their activity feed. You will merely be able to see your friends’ biography, other personal information, or online status, and send messages more quickly by choosing who to send the message to from a list, as opposed to having to search by username.
