LUIS intent recognition does not work for child dialogs

Describe the bug

I am using the terms as defined on Composer Docs. My main dialog has an intent, called DeveloperMode. The only string associated with it is Developer Mode. This intent is correctly inferred when the user types in developer mode. The intent starts a child dialog called Developer.

BeginDialog for Developer returns a message indicating that the user is in the developer dialog. There is an intent called SampleApiConnection with in the Developer child dialog. The only LUIS string attached is connect to an api.

When I type connect to an api into Composer, after first typing developer mode to be in the Developer child dialog, I get the message for BeginDialog for the Developer child dialog. I would expect to see the message for the intent SampleApiConnection.

This is the JSON as shown in the Bot Framework emulator:

{
  "recognizerResult": {
    "alteredText": null,
    "entities": {},
    "intents": {
      "Developer": {
        "score": 0.282138944
      }
    },
    "text": "connect to an api"
  }
}

Version

1.1.1

OS

Windows

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a child dialog called Developer
2. In the main dialog, add an intent called DeveloperMode, triggered by the phrase “developer mode”
3. In the DeveloperMode intent, add an action to start the child dialog Developer
4. Add a message in the BeginDialog event for the Developer child dialog
5. Add an intent to the Developer child dialog triggered by the phrase “connect to an api”
6. Add a message to the intent

Start the bot framework emulator and type developer mode followed by connect to an api. Observe that you get the message entered in step four twice.

Expected behavior

After typing “connect to an api” you should get the message entered in step 6.

@knightmeister I think I solved your issue… and one of mine. There’s a property on your Developer child dialog called "Auto end dialog." Set that to false and retest.

@knightmeister shoot me an email if you want to collaborate on this a bit. I’ve picked up a little insight on this topic, but I’m not entirely sure the best / easiest / highest value path forward.

Will do
