CLI: GoogleConversationalAction model localisation build does not work

#1

Hi There,

I have cloned the sample repository (google-conversational-actions-helloworld) and added two sample models:

en-US.js

module.exports = {
  invocation: "my test app",
  intents: [
    {
      name: "HelloWorldIntent",
      phrases: ["hello", "say hello", "say hello world"],
    },
    {
      name: "MyNameIsIntent",
      phrases: [
        "{name}",
        "my name is {name}",
        "i am {name}",
        "you can call me {name}",
      ],
      inputs: [{ name: "name", type: "LIST_OF_STATIONS" }],
    },
  ],

  googleAssistant: {
    custom: {
      types: {
        LIST_OF_STATIONS: {
          synonym: {
            entities: {
              2: {
                synonyms: ["radio sun", "sunny radio"],
              },
            },
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
};

and de-DE.js

    module.exports = {
  invocation: "my test app",
  intents: [
    {
      name: "HelloWorldIntent",
      phrases: ["hello", "say hello", "say hello world"],
    },
    {
      name: "MyNameIsIntent",
      phrases: [
        "{name}",
        "my name is {name}",
        "i am {name}",
        "you can call me {name}",
      ],
      inputs: [{ name: "name", type: "LIST_OF_STATIONS" }],
    },
  ],

  googleAssistant: {
    custom: {
      types: {
        LIST_OF_STATIONS: {
          synonym: {
            entities: {
              1: {
                synonyms: ["HIT RADIO FFH", "hit radio f. f. h."],
              },
            },
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
};

jovo build --clean -p googleAction does not deploy my custom types to the /platforms folder.

Any help here @rubenaeg ?

Best,
Dominik.

might be a duplicate / related to Google Actions Platform Specific Intents not copied to every locale.

Hi @dominik-meissner,

I didn’t work with Google Conversational Actions for a while now and can’t test it as I’m out sick today, but have you tried the format provided by the docs here?

#4

sorry - you are right in my sample i mixed alexa style with google. I have adjusted my original post to be on point. The result is the same (as in my original project).

#5

What is generated here? Is the folder just empty?

Missing the de-DE version and i guess the en-US Folder as well.

Just a quick update here, the issue occurs because you define the type in the googleAssistant property of the language model, which our model parser doesn’t take into account being locale-specific. This should be also true for intents. I’m currently testing a solution for this, so you should expect an update soon.

@rubenaeg @jan is there an update for this issue? I still have problems deploying parts in the “googleAssistant” for non sub locales. The default locale is working.
One more question: Is this still an issue with v4cli?
