Version

Bot Composer: 2.0.0 SDK runtime packages: 4.12.0 PowerShell 7

OS

• macOS
• Windows
• Ubuntu

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. In Bot Composer Desktop app, create a bot with “Core Bot with Language” template
2. Open the bot folder in Visual Studio (2019)
3. Follow this doc to create a custom action
4. See error

Expected behavior

Expect there’s no errors (since I follow documentation for every step). Even there are unexpected errors, there should be documentation guide a bot dev how to resolve it. From the error messages I received, I don’t understand what’s wrong.

Additional context

Found a similar issue posted in stackoverflow, but the answer doesn’t fix it.

@srinaath I can reproduce this myself without even having a generated folder. I just created a brand new bot using Core Bot with Language then run the update-schema.ps1 script. This happens with or without creating a new .schema file. This does not reproduce with the Empty Bot template.

The following changes I found to be useful in my case: Line 11, change “!**/generated” to “!../generated” and add “!../dialogs/imported”
