When trying to debug my chatbot locally using the BotFramework emulator I'm getting the following output in my console when the bot tries to respond
Session.beginDialog(/)

I'm connecting the emulator to my chatbot via http://localhost:3978/api/messages and from what I can see the error seems to be tied to the "Locale:" field. however, no matter what I change it too I'm getting a similar error to the above. Is there something I need to change in my code or is this an issue purely with the emulator?
Code snippet that is causing the issue is below. it throws the above error when trying to use the q_BBApps intent along with any others in the code. This works fine when in azure or when using the webchat channel

If we focus this error message in SDK's source code, we can find the condition at https://github.com/Microsoft/BotBuilder/blob/master/Node/core/src/dialogs/LuisRecognizer.ts#L63L103, which will check wether the mode we set to LuisRecognizer exists. IF not, the SDK will throw this general error you met.
And I found that you are using the nodejs runtime variable by var model = process.env.LUIS_URL;, so you can double check wether the environment variable is set correctly on local and be loaded in the runtime when you are running your bot locally.
