How to build Botframework-WebChat v4

Sorry for asking this, but how can i build the botframework-webchat v4.5.2? I ran 'npm run bootstrap' and 'npm run build'. Both commands exited successfully, but i can't find the webchat.js file.

Solution

  • You need to run npm run build:sample when you are first getting started. Then the normal build and watch commands should build the webchat.js files from then on. Not sure if this is documented anywhere. 

    npm install
npm run bootstrap
npm run build:sample

npm run build

    To run the test harness run npm run start:docker and wait for the command to finish - it should take awhile for docker container to build. Then in another terminal run npm test.

    Hope this helps!
