Rover Builder Build amazing 3d vehicles from simple buggies to complex work machinery! In this space themed building game you get to solve increasingly challenging remote-operated missions, as you climb the corporational ladder and unlock new planets. An in-depth guide to the Spaceflight Simulator app. Build a SpaceX type rocket and try to land on the moon. This is the most realistic space flight simulator available due to its true orbital mechanics and planets scaled to size.
TipIf using Visual Studio 2017, make sure that the project build type is.Net Core 2.1 or later. Also if needed, update the Microsoft.Bot.Builder.Thanks to the template, your project contains all the code that's necessary to create the bot in this quickstart. You won't actually need to write any additional code.
Start your bot in Visual StudioWhen you click the run button, Visual Studio will build the application, deploy it to localhost, and launch the web browser to display the application's default.htm page. At this point, your bot is running locally. Start the emulator and connect your botNext, start the emulator and then connect to your bot in the emulator:. Click the Create a new bot configuration link in the emulator 'Welcome' tab. Fill out the fields for your bot. Use your bot's welcome page address (typically and append routing info '/api/messages' to this address. then click Save and connect.Interact with your botSend a message to your bot, and the bot will respond back with a message.
NoteThe install of Windows build tools listed below is only required if you use Windows as your development operating system.For some installations the install step for restify is giving an error related to node-gyp.If this is the case you can try running this command with elevated permissions.This call may also hang without exiting if python is already installed on your system: # only run this command if you are on Windows. Read the above note.npm install -g windows-build-toolsCreate a botTo create your bot and initialize its packages.Open a terminal or elevated command prompt.If you don't already have a directory for your JavaScript bots, create one and change directories to it. (We're creating a directory for your JavaScript bots in general, even though we're only creating one bot in this tutorial.) mkdir myJsBotscd myJsBots.Ensure your version of npm is up to date. Npm install -g npm.Next, install Yeoman and the generator for JavaScript. Npm install -g yo generator-botbuilder.Then, use the generator to create an echo bot. Yo botbuilderYeoman prompts you for some information with which to create your bot. For this tutorial, use the default values.?
What's the name of your bot? What will your bot do? Demonstrate the core capabilities of the Microsoft Bot Framework? What programming language do you want to use? Which template would you like to start with? Echo Bot - Looking good.
Shall I go ahead and create your new bot? (Y/n)Thanks to the template, your project contains all the code that's necessary to create the bot in this quickstart. You won't actually need to write any additional code. NoteIf you choose to create a Core bot, you'll need a LUIS language model. You can create one on.
After creating the model, update the configuration file. Start your botIn a terminal or command prompt change directories to the one created for your bot, and start it with npm start. At this point, your bot is running locally. Start the Emulator and connect your bot.
Start the Bot Framework Emulator. Click the Create a new bot configuration link in the emulator 'Welcome' tab. Fill out the fields for your bot.
Use your bot's welcome page address (typically and append routing info '/api/messages' to this address. Then click Save and connect.Send a message to your bot, and the bot will respond back with a message.Prerequisites. Python or. knowledge of ansynchronous programming in PythonCreate a bot. Open a terminal and navigate to the folder where you're saving your bot locally.
Install the necessary packages by running the following commands:. pip install botbuilder-core. pip install asyncio. pip install -r requirements.txt. pip install cookiecutterThe last package, cookiecutter, will be used to generate your bot.
Verify that cookiecutter was installed correctly by running cookiecutter -help. To create your bot run:cookiecutter command creates an Echo Bot based on the Python. You will then be prompted for the name of the bot and a description. Name your bot echo-bot and set the description to A bot that echoes back user response. As shown below:Copy the last for digits in the address on the last line (usually 3978) since you will be using them in the next step. You are now ready to start your bot. Start you bot.From a terminal navigate to the echo-bot folder where you saved your bot.
Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install any required packages to run your bot.Once the packages are installted run python app.py to start your bot. You will know your bot is ready to test when you see the last line shown in the screenshot below:Start the Emulator and connect your bot.Start the Emulator and click the Open Bot button.After clicking the button a box window will open where you set the necessary values to run the bot. Use the number you saved earlier and set the Bot URL to as seen below:. Click the Connect button and your bot should start.
Try testing the bot by typing anything and clicking Enter as seen below:Deploy your bot Prerequisites. A subscription to. A C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, or Python bot that you have developed on your local machine. Latest version of the.
Familiarity withPrepare for deployment. TipThis procedure uses a ZIP file to deploy your bot. In C#, this may fail if the solution configuration at build is set to Debug.In Visual Studio, make sure that the solution configuration is set to Release and perform a clean rebuild of the solution before continuing.When you create a bot using a, or the source code generated includes a deploymentTemplates folder that contains ARM templates. The deployment process documented here uses one of the ARM templates to provision required resources for the bot in Azure by using the Azure CLI. NoteWith the release of Bot Framework SDK 4.3, we have deprecated the use of a.bot file.
Instead, we use an appsettings.json or.env file to manage bot resources. For information on migrating settings from the.bot file to appsettings.json or.env file, see. Bot ready to deployThis article assumes that you have a bot ready to be deployed. If you are deploying a C# bot make sure that it has been.For information on how to create a simple echo bot, see the quick start,. You can also use one of the samples provided in the repository.
Login to AzureOnce you've created and tested a bot locally, you can deploy it to Azure. Open a command prompt to log in to the Azure portal. Az loginA browser window will open, allowing you to sign in. NoteIf you deploy your bot to a non-Azure cloud such as US Gov, you need to run az cloud set -name before az login, where is the name of a registered cloud, such as AzureUSGovernment. If you want to go back to public cloud, you can run az cloud set -name AzureCloud. Set the subscriptionSet the default subscription to use.
Az account set -subscription 'If you are not sure which subscription to use for deploying the bot, you can view the list of subscriptions for your account by using az account list command. Create an App registrationIn this step you create an Azure Active Directory application, which will allow:. The user to interact with the bot via a set of channels such as Web Chat. The definition of OAuth Connection Settings to authenticate a user and to create a token used by the bot to access protected resources on behalf of the user.To create an Azure Active Directory application, execute the following command: az ad app create -display-name 'displayName' -password 'AtLeastSixteenCharacters0' -available-to-other-tenantsOptionDescriptiondisplay-nameThe display name of the application. It is listed in the Azure portal in the general resources list and in the resource group it belongs.passwordThe password, also known as client secret, for the application.
This is a password you create for this resource. It must be at least 16 characters long, contain at least 1 upper or lower case alphabetical character, and contain at least 1 special character.available-to-other-tenantsIndicates that the application can be used from any Azure AD tenant. Set this to enable your bot to work with the Azure Bot Service channels.The above command outputs JSON with the key appId, copy and save it.You are going to use this appId and the password you entered in the ARM deployment step, to assign values to the appId and the appSecret parameters, respectively. Deploy via ARM templateYou can deploy your bot in a new resource group or an existing resource group. Choose the option that works best for you. NotePython bots cannot be deployed to a resource group that contains Windows services/bots. Multiple Python bots can be deployed to the same resource group, but create other services (LUIS, QnA, etc.) in another resource group.
Deploy via ARM template with new Resource GroupIn this step, you create a bot application service which sets the deployment stage for the bot. You use an ARM template, a new service plan and a new resource group.From the resulting JSON output, copy the numeric value of the id field to use as the value for the registration subscription id in the next step. NoteThis step can take a few minutes to complete. Az deployment create -template-file ' -parameters appId=' appSecret=' botId=' botSku=F0 newAppServicePlanName=' newWebAppName=' groupName=' groupLocation=' newAppServicePlanLocation=' -name 'OptionDescriptionnameThe display name to use for your bot channels registration.
Default is the value of the botId parameter.template-fileThe path to the ARM template. Usually, the template-with-new-rg.json file is provided in the deploymentTemplates folder of the bot project.
This is a path to an existing template file. It can be an absolute path, or relative to the current directory. All bot templates generate ARM template files.locationLocation. Values from: az account list-locations. You can configure the default location using az configure -defaults location=.parametersDeployment parameters, provided as a list of key=value pairs.
Enter the following parameter values:. appId - The app id value generated by the previous step.
appSecret - The password you provided in the previous step. botId - A name for the Bot Channels Registration resource to create. It must be globally unique. It is used as the immutable bot ID. It is also used as the default display name, which is mutable. botSku - The pricing tier; it can be F0 (Free) or S1 (Standard).
newAppServicePlanName - The name of the new application service plan. newWebAppName - A name for the bot application service. groupName - A name for the new resource group. groupLocation - The location of the Azure resource group.
newAppServicePlanLocation - The location of the application service plan.Deploy via ARM template with existing Resource GroupIn this step, you create a bot application service which sets the deployment stage for the bot. When using an existing resource group, you can either use an existing app service plan or create a new one. Steps for both options are listed below.From the resulting JSON output, copy the value of the id field to use as the value for the registration subscription id in the next step. NoteThis step can take a few minutes to complete.Option 1: Existing App Service PlanIn this case, we are using an existing App Service Plan, but creating new a Web App and Bot Channels Registration.This command below sets the bot's ID and display name. The botId parameter should be globally unique and is used as the immutable bot ID.
The bot's display name is mutable. Az group deployment create -resource-group ' -template-file ' -parameters appId=' appSecret=' botId=' newWebAppName=' existingAppServicePlan=' appServicePlanLocation=' -name 'Option 2: New App Service PlanIn this case, we are creating App Service Plan, Web App, and Bot Channels Registration.
Az group deployment create -resource-group ' -template-file ' -parameters appId=' appSecret=' botId=' newWebAppName=' newAppServicePlanName=' appServicePlanLocation=' -name 'OptionDescriptionnameThe display name to use for your bot channels registration. Default is the value of the botId parameter.resource-groupName of the azure resource group.template-fileThe path to the ARM template. Usually, the template-with-preexisting-rg.json file is provided in the deploymentTemplates folder of the project. This is a path to an existing template file.
It can be an absolute path, or relative to the current directory. All bot templates generate ARM template files.locationLocation.
Values from: az account list-locations. You can configure the default location using az configure -defaults location=.parametersDeployment parameters, provided as a list of key=value pairs. Enter the following parameter values:. appId - The app id value generated by the previous step. appSecret - The password you provided in the previous step. botId - A name for the Bot Channels Registration resource to create. It must be globally unique.
It is used as the immutable bot ID. It is also used as the default display name, which is mutable. newWebAppName - A name for the bot application service. newAppServicePlanName - A name for the application service plan resource to create. newAppServicePlanLocation - The location of the application service plan.5. Prepare your code for deployment. ImportantWith the release of the Bot Framework 4.8 SDK, the.NET Bot Framework samples now target the.NET Core 3.1 SDK.Not all Azure data centers are configured to build such bots.See the map of for the centers in which you can build.NET Core 3.1 apps using Kudu.
(All centers can run.NET Core 3.1 apps.)If you you are deploying a bot that targets the.NET Core 3.1 SDK and you are deploying to a center that can't build.NET Core 3.1 apps using Kudu, use this work around to prepare and zip up your bot files; otherwise, you can use the steps in the next sections.Run this command in the directory that contains the solution or project file for your bot. Dotnet publish -configuration Release -runtime win-x86 -self-contained.Zip up the contents of the /Release/netcoreapp3.1/publish/ folder.Retrieve or create necessary IIS/Kudu filesYou need to prepare your project files before you can deploy your C#, Javascript, or Typescript bot. If you are deploying a Python bot you can skip this step and continue to step 5.2.az bot prepare-deploy -lang Csharp -code-dir '.' -proj-file-path 'MyBot.csproj'You must provide the path to the.csproj file relative to -code-dir. This can be performed via the -proj-file-path argument. The command would resolve -code-dir and -proj-file-path to './MyBot.csproj'.This command generates a.deployment file in your bot project folder. Az bot prepare-deploy -code-dir '.'
-lang JavascriptThe command generates two web.config file in your project folder. Node.js apps need web.config to work with IIS on Azure App Services. Make sure web.config is saved to the root of your bot. Az bot prepare-deploy -code-dir '.' -lang TypescriptThis command works similarly to JavaScript in that it generates two web.config files. One is in your project folder, and the other is in the src folder within your project folder.You do not need to prepare your project files before deploying a Python bot. Continue to step 5.2.
Zip up the code directory manuallyWhen using the non-configured to deploy your bot's code, Web App/Kudu's behavior is as follows:Kudu assumes by default that deployments from zip files are ready to run and do not require additional build steps during deployment, such as npm install or dotnet restore/dotnet publish.It is important to include your built code with all necessary dependencies in the zip file being deployed, otherwise your bot will not work as intended. NoteThis step can take a few minutes to complete.Also it can take a few more minutes between when the deployment finishes and when your bot is available to test.
Test in Web Chat. In your browser, navigate to the. In the left panel, click Resource groups. In the right panel, search for your group. Click on your group name.
Click the link of your Bot Channels Registration. In the Bot Channels Registration panel, click Test in Web Chat.Alternatively, in the right panel, click the Test box.For more information about bot channels registration, see.
