this is my use case:
i created a skill which includes a dialog model. This model aks the user for serveral slot values. Every slot value will then be checked if the answer is right or not. When ist right the dialog goes on, if not alexa aks the user again (via elicitslot). So my problem is, wehn i give a wrong answer, alexa ends the session without any reason, she does not fire the elicitslot direction.
The strange thing is, during tests bevor, everything worked finde. And then I just changed something on the interaction model (I added a slot) and then it does not work anymore.
Note: this affects only 4 of 10 slot values. For the other 6 values the elicitslot direction works fine. But for the other 4 not. And the problem is, i can't see anything in the logs. So i dont know why this happens.
The main problem is, in one run everything works and in the next it the elicitslot does not work for 4 slot values.

Here you can see it, "ziege" is not the right answer so normaly alexa should aks now "please try again...". But she ends the session, whyy???
image without error
And this is the slot bevor, there everything worked fine. "Schildkröte" is wrong, so alexa asks the user to enter the right value. This is all in the same session...
Are there any bugs which i dont know? Or hase it something to go with the slot types..?
Please its for my thesis, and in really need help.
Note: i work with the amazon lambda editor..

I have a skill in Alexa, Cortana and Google and in each case, there is a concept of terminating the flow after speaking the result or keeping the mic open to continue the flow. The skill is mostly in an Http API call that returns the information to speak, display and a flag to continue the conversation or not.
In Alexa, the flag returned from the API call and passed to Alexa is called shouldEndSession. In Google Assistant, the flag is expect_user_response.
So in my code folder, the API is called from the Javascript file and returns a JSON object containing three elements: speech (the text to speak - possibly SSML); displayText (the text to display to the user); and shouldEndSession (true or false).
The action calls the JavaScript code with type Search and a collect segment. It then outputs the JSON object mentioned above. This all works fine except I don't know how to handle the shouldEndSession. Is this done in the action perhaps with the validate segment?
For example, "Hi Bixby, ask car repair about changing my tires" would respond with the answer and be done. But something like "Hi Bixby, ask car repair about replacing my alternator". In this case, the response may be "I need to know what model car you have. What model car?". The user would then say "Toyota" and then Bixby would complete the dialog with the answer or maybe ask for more info.
I'd appreciate some pointers.
Thanks
I think it can easily be done in Bixby by input prompt when a required input is missing. You can build input-view to better enhance the user experience.
To start building the capsule, I would suggest the following:
Learn more about Bixby on https://bixbydevelopers.com/dev/docs/dev-guide
Try some sample capsules and watch some tutorial videos on https://bixbydevelopers.com/dev/docs/sample-capsules
If you have a Bixby enabled Samsung device, check our marketplace for ideas and inspirations.
I have seen some references to the Auto-learn function of Watson Dialog but I can't find coverage in any of the documentation. Can you point me to a source of information on how best to use Auto-Learn?
Thank you for your feedback, we are always working to improve our documentation.
For your immediate benefit, auto-learn is a bit of a misleading name for a feature t, but the name has stuck.
Autolearn has become the "did you mean..." with four bullet points that shows when a user sends an input that has no direct matches.
A little history...at one time, we thought that if a user typed something, saw the did you mean... and clicked a link, their intial input must have meant the same thing as the one they clicked, the system should automatically remember that.
Imagine this:
"What are your credit card fees?"
Did you mean... 1. apply for a credit card 2. cancel a credit card 3. pay your bill
click apply for a credit card
The user was simply interested in that, but obviously the two DO NOT have the same meaning. So we realized thats a bad idea, the system will learn incorrectly. However, we still call it auto learn.
I ran into another snag while going through the ThinksterIO Learn to Build Real Time Webapps tutorial around the 90% mark where one is shown how to add and delete comments:
https://thinkster.io/angulartutorial/learn-to-build-realtime-webapps/#adding-comments-functionality-to-the-post-service-9
Every time I click the Post Comment button absolutely nothing happen and I simply can't figure it out. I am expecting some kind of error to show up but nil. It's as if the button is not hooked up to the function. I was so frustrated that I eventually just copy and pasted the code from the tutorial to make sure I had it down right. Even after doing that it still didn't work.
I've created a Plunker with this app running over here http://embed.plnkr.co/OhzDTU/preview
You can sign in with the email user#user.com and 1234 password. You will then be able to try to comment on posts. Any ideas on what is going wrong here?
UPDATE
I took away the user user#user.com and 1234 password since problem is now fixed.
Your add comment button is in showpost.html, which is rendered by PostViewCtrl. However, your addComment method is attached to the scope of PostsCtrl (it doesn't exist when you try to click it). The simplest answer here is just to move addComment() over to the other controller.
Regarding the lack of error messages, I don't think that you can get an error for this. I had a look at the docs for $log and tried to decide if you could add some debugging output, but it looks like it's already on (i.e. the lack of a method seems to fail silently).
About your only option here is to try something like {{addComment|json}} in the view to see if it exists, but you'd first have to suspect that it didn't.
All the code I've ever seen put the -[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:... in the AppDelegate's -didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:... and so the push alert is the first thing the user sees as he enters the app.
My goal is to delay it a little bit, i.e. show something and then in some viewDidLoad show user the alert.
Is it possible?
Another related question is will -didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError will be called if the user denies the push or just if something is wrong with the registration?
Thanks!
Well, I will answer my question after testing it with a test app (because mine cannot be uninstalled for the whole day, I have got work to do.. :) )
1) The alert CAN be delayed. the moment you call -registerForRemoteNotificationTypes, that moment the alert will show and the answer has to be given. The only way to dismiss that alert is to reboot the device, in which your answer to the alert is NO!
2) No, didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError is only called if something went wrong with the registration (certificates, etc.).
SITUATION :
I have an application where i have to issue a gift cupon kind of a thing when the user reaches a certain score say 'x'.
I want to create a coupon with a unique QRcode, at the time the user reaches the score 'x' so that he can download it on his iphone and use it. Once it is used , the cupon should be invalidated. this applies to any user using the application. Meaning a coupon is created once the score is reached and deleted or invalidated once it is used.
ISSUE :
I'm not able to figure out how to create a cupon everytime any user reaches the score. Ofcourse, i did go through a lot of documentations and links like http://www.raywenderlich.com/20734/beginning-passbook-part-1. I also tried using pass-source but the valid account requires you to pay minimum about 8$.
As suggested in raywenderlich tutorials, i can create passes but thats not created through the application.
Also i didn't see any method where we can be notified when a user uses his issued coupon so that we can invalidate it.
Am i missing something here?
"Using" a QR code on a coupon means it is scanned by something else. That something else has to take responsibility to report the activity back to you, so you could then update the pass with an "Expired" flag in your database, re-sign and rebuild the pass, issue the push notification so that it would eventually update on the device. You'd also probably want that scanner-thingie to check with you to see that the code is valid before accepting it. So, yeah, not Apple's problem.
