You will be creating 5 actions (not including actions for the Cloudant DB) for the weather chat bot as follows: wsk action create conversation1 actions/watson-assistant.js --web true wsk action create conversation2 actions/watson-assistant-weather.js --web true wsk action create nlu actions/nlu.js --web true wsk action create getGeoLoc actions/getGeoLoc.js --web true wsk action create getWeather actions/getWeather.js --web true
Change to the config directory and replace the default parameters with your Watson service credentials. Your credentials can be found by heading to your IBM Cloud dashboard, clicking on the service name, and then the Service Credentials tab on the left-hand side of the page. cd config Watson Assistant Credentials { "WATSON_ASSISTANT_USERNAME": "<YOUR WATSON ASSISTANT SERVICE USERNAME>", "WATSON_ASSISTANT_PASSWORD": "<YOUR WATSON ASSISTANT SERVICE PASSWORD>", "WATSON_ASSISTANT_URL": "https://gateway.watsonplatform.net/conversation/api", "WORKSPACE_ID": "<YOUR WATSON ASSISTANT SERVICE WORKSPACE_ID>" } Your workspace ID can be found by going to your IBM Cloud dashboard, clicking on your Watson Assistant service, then clicking on the Launch Tool button. NLU Credentials { "NLU_USERNAME": "<YOUR NLU SERVICE USERNAME>", "NLU_PASSWORD": "<YOUR NLU SERVICE PASSWORD>", "NLU_URL": "https://gateway.watsonplatform.net/natural-language-understanding/api", } Weather Company Data Credentials { "WEATHER_URL": "<YOUR WEATHER SERVICE URL>", "WEATHER_USERNAME": "<YOUR WEATHER SERVICE USERNAME>", "WEATHER_PASSWORD": "<YOUR WEATHER NSERVICE PASSWORD>" }
Export your service credentials by performing the following: wsk action update conversation1 --param-file config/watson-assistant-config.json wsk action update conversation2 --param-file config/watson-assistant-config.json wsk action update nlu --param-file config/nlu-config.json wsk action update getGeoLoc --param-file config/weather-config.json wsk action update getWeather --param-file config/weather-config.json
Finally, create an OpenWhisk sequence to connect the actions: wsk action create <sequence name> --sequence nlu,getGeoLoc,conversation1,getWeather,conversation2
Copy and paste the following command in a terminal window and replace with the name of your OpenWhisk sequence. If you get a JSON response with no status error messages, then your sequence has been successfully created. wsk action invoke --blocking <sequence name> --param conversation '{ "input": { "text": "Hello", "language": "en" }, "context": {} }'
