Botframework-emulator: Markdowns not working after latest update v3.5.36

[keshavnagpal]

Hi,
After the latest update, the markdowns are not working in the emulator. Instead of getting Bold , I'm getting * Bold * etc.

In the webChat of Azure Portal, they are still working fine.

@compulim Can you take a look?

Verified. v3.5.36 not honoring Markdown syntax anymore.

I've also getting issues with adaptive cards.
Not sure if it's an emulator issue, Bot framework 3.15 or both

[keshavnagpal]

@Amintasn I think it's the emulator issue. I'm currently using v3.5.35 for testing and markdowns are working fine on it. And same project when accessed through v3.5.36 , markdowns don't work.

[Amintasn]

@keshavnagpal Thanks for the feedback. I've downloaded the v.3.5.35 to see how the bot would behave. However, my emulator automatically updates it to v3.5.36 before I can start working. Do you know how I can prevent that? Thx

[keshavnagpal]

@Amintasn Go to your bot emulator install directory, there will be two more directories inside it with names
v3.5.36
v3.5.35
I deleted v3.5.36 directory, in order to use the older version

[Amintasn]

@keshavnagpal Thx! Still not working for me on v3.5.35 though. My adaptive cards are simply been ignored by the emulator. Working fine on Azure Web Chat on the other hand.

@keshavnagpal Working fine now with. Using Bot Emulator v3.5.36 with Bot Connector v.3.14. Thx

Relates to https://github.com/Microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat/issues/972

It's not working for me either on the newest version using adaptive cards. It's still working in prod though, therefore I would assume it's emulator related.

[compulim]

Will fix in Web Chat PR #1034 by exposing Markdown-It engine bundled in Web Chat to window.markdownit, so Adaptive Cards 1.0 can use it.

@compulim - what's the ETA for this fix in Emulator?

[compulim]

Checked today with @vishwacsena, Markdown is working in latest Emulator.

Easiest way to check if Markdown is working or not. Write this sentence, My name is "bot". If you see the double-quote become smart quotes (curly double-quote, like My name is “bot”), the Markdown-It engine is running.
