Cannot include partial conversation in Botium Watson Assistant test with #include

I tried following partial conversation documentation to include a partial conversation file using #include syntax.

I want to use many partial conversations, not just in beginning/end but in middle of conversation as well. Which is the correct syntax?

Error:

  context: {
    err: Error: Failed to parse conversation. Section "include" unknown.

  }

Test convo immediate-pound-out_with_partial.convo.txt:

immediate pound out, templated second strike

Hi, how can I help you?

I can't handle DTMF here

#include SECOND-STRIKE

#bot
Please hold while I transfer you

If I replace #include SECOND-STRIKE with the following, it works. (This seems odd - effectively defining #bot section twice.)

#bot
INCLUDE SECOND-STRIKE

Partial convo file second-strike.pconvo.txt:

SECOND-STRIKE

#bot
I still didn't understand.

Found this similar question, which is unclear about adding partials in the middle of a conversation.

Solution

  • The #include syntax is only available with the most recent release 1.11.2 Please check your Botium Core version
