Conversational Actions quick start guide - failing

First timer here and I'm stuck :(

I'm trying to get a project of the ground by following the quick start guide. I've tried countless different ways of creating a project in the Actions Console. I believe that it should be New project -> Game -> Blank project (for smart display). I have enabled the Actions API for that project.

I created the project like this gactions init interactive-canvas --dest test-canvas

I have updated the file sdk/settings/settings.yaml with my project ID.

When I try to push my project with gactions push I get a couple of warnings and especially this one Custom actions can only be specified in Conversational Actions projects:

...
Waiting for server to respond...
[WARNING] Server found validation issues (however, your files were still pushed):
  Locale  Validation Result
          Custom actions can only be specified in Conversational Actions projects.
  en      Short description is required
  en      Long description is required
...

When I try to run gactions deploy preview I get the following error:

Deploying files in the project "test-canvas" to Actions Console for preview. This may take a few minutes.
Sending configuration files...
Sending resources...
Waiting for server to respond. It could take up to 1 minute if your cloud function needs to be redeployed.
[ERROR] Server did not return HTTP 200.

  "error": {

    "message": "Request contains an invalid argument.",
    "details": [

        "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.BadRequest",
        "fieldViolations": [
          {
            "description": "Custom actions can only be specified in Conversational Actions projects."
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

How do I create a Conversational Actions project? I thought that I was doing that all along? I am Confused. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Kind regards, Tobias

Solution

I'm trying start up a project too. I get that same error message, and I'm wondering if it's something on Google's side that needs to be fixed. For now, I'm just using gactions push when I update any code and going to Actions Console > Webhooks and clicking on Deploy. I wait for it to deploy to the server then I click on the Test tab to play with the simulator.
