Getting Same response to any query in Watson Assistant V2 : Watson-Unity-SDK










2















I just got to a point where I could set-up the Watson Assistant V2 with Unity and trying to converse with an Assistant I created with a single Skill. I need further help to get the assistant set up to work with my Unity app.



In V1 of the assistant, it was possible to target a workspace and also the response was returning the intent, nodes visited so on. My queries were correctly processed and the responses were identical to the one on the "try it" application in the IBM cloud dashboard.



In the new version though, I am getting the same response for any query I send to the assistant. How can I target the right skill or rather pass correct settings to the assistant to get the correct responses?

The code I'm using to send queries and get responses is:



IEnumerator TokenExample()

// Create IAM token options and supply the apikey. IamUrl is the URL used to get the
// authorization token using the IamApiKey. It defaults to https://iam.bluemix.net/identity/token
TokenOptions iamTokenOptions = new TokenOptions()

IamApiKey = "API KEY",
IamUrl = "https://iam.bluemix.net/identity/token"

;
// Create credentials using the IAM token options

_credentials = new Credentials(iamTokenOptions, "https://gateway-fra.watsonplatform.net/assistant/api");
while (!_credentials.HasIamTokenData())
yield return null;

_assistant = new Assistant(_credentials);
_assistant.VersionDate = "2018-11-01";

Debug.Log(_assistant.GetServiceID()); // returns "AssitantV2"



public void PingAssistantV2() // triggered from a button press in UI

_assistant.CreateSession(OnCreateSession, OnFail, AssistantID); // Assistant ID is entered through the Inspector



public void OnCreateSession(SessionResponse response, Dictionary<string, object> customData)

Log.Debug("ExampleAssistantV2.OnMessage()", "Assistant: Create Session Response: 0", customData["json"].ToString());

string _si = response.SessionId;
Debug.Log("SessionID: " +_si);

MessageInput mi = new MessageInput();
mi.Text = Query.textComponent.text; // get user query from an input field in unity UI


MessageRequest messageRequest = new MessageRequest()

Input = mi

;
Debug.LogFormat("<b> Query Sent: 0 </b>", Query.textComponent.text);
if (response.SessionId != null ) _assistant.Message(OnMessage, OnFail, AssistantID, _si, messageRequest);


private void OnMessage(MessageResponse AssistantResponse, Dictionary<string, object> customData)

Log.Debug("ExampleAssistant.OnMessage()", "Response: 0", customData["json"].ToString());
Debug.LogFormat("<b> SUCCESS </b>");
Debug.Log(customData["json"].ToString());

// Convert resp to fsdata
fsData fsdata = null;
fsResult r = _serializer.TrySerialize(AssistantResponse.GetType(), AssistantResponse, out fsdata);
if (!r.Succeeded)
throw new WatsonException(r.FormattedMessages);

// Convert fsdata to MessageResponse
IBM.WatsonDeveloperCloud.Assistant.v2.MessageResponse messageResponse = new IBM.WatsonDeveloperCloud.Assistant.v2.MessageResponse();
object obj = messageResponse;
r = _serializer.TryDeserialize(fsdata, obj.GetType(), ref obj);
if (!r.Succeeded)
throw new WatsonException(r.FormattedMessages);

Response.text = AssistantResponse.Output.Generic.First().Text; // send response to unity UI text box



private void OnFail(RESTConnector.Error error, Dictionary<string, object> customData)

Log.Debug("OnFail()", "Failed: 0", error.ToString());
Debug.LogFormat("<b> Failed </b>");
Debug.Log(error.ToString());

The Issue persists even with the sample for assitant V2 in the SDK:

  • The v1 API is still supported - if it worked ok for your usecase I would just continue using v1 instead of refactoring to v2.

  • Hi Michal, How to do that? From Unity I can choose the API version to use but how do I set it in my Watson dashboard? The structure has completely changed from being Assistant -> Workplace structure to Assistant -> Skill structure now.

  • You do not need to set anything in Watson dashboard. You can access your assistant either through v1 api or v2 api. Both of them work at the same time.

EDIT to address @Taj's comment



The Issue persists even with the sample for assitant V2 in the SDK:



Wrong Unity Responses v/s appropriate responses in dashboardtrail

  • The v1 API is still supported - if it worked ok for your usecase I would just continue using v1 instead of refactoring to v2.

    Nov 16 '18 at 9:37











  • Hi Michal, How to do that? From Unity I can choose the API version to use but how do I set it in my Watson dashboard? The structure has completely changed from being Assistant -> Workplace structure to Assistant -> Skill structure now.

  • You do not need to set anything in Watson dashboard. You can access your assistant either through v1 api or v2 api. Both of them work at the same time.

I can see from your log that you have a new sessionId each time you message. You do not need to create a session each time you send a message. The session should persist during the conversation. I moved the call to CreateSession to your TokenExample() and call PingAssistantV2() once you have a sessionId.



string _si = "";

IEnumerator TokenExample()

// Create IAM token options and supply the apikey. IamUrl is the URL used to get the
// authorization token using the IamApiKey. It defaults to https://iam.bluemix.net/identity/token
TokenOptions iamTokenOptions = new TokenOptions()

IamApiKey = "API KEY",
IamUrl = "https://iam.bluemix.net/identity/token"

;
// Create credentials using the IAM token options

_credentials = new Credentials(iamTokenOptions, "https://gateway-fra.watsonplatform.net/assistant/api");
while (!_credentials.HasIamTokenData())
yield return null;

_assistant = new Assistant(_credentials);
_assistant.VersionDate = "2018-11-01";

Debug.Log(_assistant.GetServiceID()); // returns "AssitantV2"

_assistant.CreateSession(OnCreateSession, OnFail, AssistantID); // Assistant ID is entered through the Inspector


public void PingAssistantV2() // triggered from a button press in UI

MessageInput mi = new MessageInput();
mi.Text = Query.textComponent.text; // get user query from an input field in unity UI

MessageRequest messageRequest = new MessageRequest()

Input = mi

;
Debug.LogFormat("<b> Query Sent: 0 </b>", Query.textComponent.text);
if (response.SessionId != null ) _assistant.Message(OnMessage, OnFail, AssistantID, _si, messageRequest);


public void OnCreateSession(SessionResponse response, Dictionary<string, object> customData)

Log.Debug("ExampleAssistantV2.OnMessage()", "Assistant: Create Session Response: 0", customData["json"].ToString());

_si = response.SessionId;
Debug.Log("SessionID: " +_si);

PingAssistantV2();


private void OnMessage(MessageResponse AssistantResponse, Dictionary<string, object> customData)

Log.Debug("ExampleAssistant.OnMessage()", "Response: 0", customData["json"].ToString());
Debug.LogFormat("<b> SUCCESS </b>");
Debug.Log(customData["json"].ToString());

// Convert resp to fsdata
fsData fsdata = null;
fsResult r = _serializer.TrySerialize(AssistantResponse.GetType(), AssistantResponse, out fsdata);
if (!r.Succeeded)
throw new WatsonException(r.FormattedMessages);

// Convert fsdata to MessageResponse
IBM.WatsonDeveloperCloud.Assistant.v2.MessageResponse messageResponse = new IBM.WatsonDeveloperCloud.Assistant.v2.MessageResponse();
object obj = messageResponse;
r = _serializer.TryDeserialize(fsdata, obj.GetType(), ref obj);
if (!r.Succeeded)
throw new WatsonException(r.FormattedMessages);

  • Alright, I rectified the way I create a session before sending messages to the assitant. But, what about the incorrect responses and absence of Information on Intents detected and Nodes visited in the response Class? If I ask the same queries in the web app or on dashboard preview conversation, I get appropriate responses, but not from Unity app. Can you post an example of how you create an assitantv2, create a session and query it to get appropriate answers in Unity, responses comparable to those obtained on the dashboard app?

    – Ani Nandavar

  • The image of the log you posted does not match the code you posted above. How are you invoking your TokenExample() method? You need to do this before anything since you need to authenticate the service. Your code shows you are creating a session each button click. You need to create the session only once per conversation, not with each request.

    Nov 14 '18 at 22:59











  • Hi Taj, i'm afraid you didn't see the part of the question after the EDIT. I have posted the full code, which is the example you sent a link to, edited a little to match user input from UI. I'm calling the Create Session from the start function, hence creating a session only once. This is what I'm doing Start -> Authnticate -> Crete session. Then, on each button click, I'm calling the assitant.message() with a message request included.

    • Alright, I rectified the way I create a session before sending messages to the assitant. But, what about the incorrect responses and absence of Information on Intents detected and Nodes visited in the response Class? If I ask the same queries in the web app or on dashboard preview conversation, I get appropriate responses, but not from Unity app. Can you post an example of how you create an assitantv2, create a session and query it to get appropriate answers in Unity, responses comparable to those obtained on the dashboard app?

    • Have you seen the example here? Creating a session will automatically track conversation context in the service instead of needing to persist context as the conversation continues.

    • The image of the log you posted does not match the code you posted above. How are you invoking your TokenExample() method? You need to do this before anything since you need to authenticate the service. Your code shows you are creating a session each button click. You need to create the session only once per conversation, not with each request.

    • Hi Taj, i'm afraid you didn't see the part of the question after the EDIT. I have posted the full code, which is the example you sent a link to, edited a little to match user input from UI. I'm calling the Create Session from the start function, hence creating a session only once. This is what I'm doing Start -> Authnticate -> Crete session. Then, on each button click, I'm calling the assitant.message() with a message request included.

    I can see from your log that you have a new sessionId each time you message. You do not need to create a session each time you send a message. The session should persist during the conversation. I moved the call to CreateSession to your TokenExample() and call PingAssistantV2() once you have a sessionId.



    string _si = "";

    IEnumerator TokenExample()

    // Create IAM token options and supply the apikey. IamUrl is the URL used to get the
    // authorization token using the IamApiKey. It defaults to https://iam.bluemix.net/identity/token

    _assistant = new Assistant(_credentials);
    _assistant.VersionDate = "2018-11-01";

    Debug.Log(_assistant.GetServiceID()); // returns "AssitantV2"

    _assistant.CreateSession(OnCreateSession, OnFail, AssistantID); // Assistant ID is entered through the Inspector
