@UsamaAslam Did you register your bot with App ID and password in the Bot Portal at: https://botframework.com? If so, what is your bot name, bot handle, and Microsoft App ID?

[UsamaAslam]

"Your bot did not respond to our Ping request with a success code. Please verify your bot is running and responsive before Publishing your bot. The error received from your bot was: Unauthorized(401), BotAuthenticator failed to authenticate incoming request!"

@UsamaAslam do you have your app id and your password in your web config?

  <appSettings>
    <add key="MicrosoftAppId" value="YOUR ADD ID" />
    <add key="MicrosoftAppPassword" value="YOUR APP PASSWORD" />
  </appSettings>

[UsamaAslam]

yes , APP ID and PASSWORD are exactly same as botframework

[nwhitmont]

@UsamaAslam I just tested your bot on Skype channel, and it is working normally. See attached screenshot.

In order to publish your bot on Skype, you need to provide valid URLs for your Privacy statement and Terms of Service. You cannot use your bot's messaging endpoint for this. Probably why you are seeing the publish error.

[UsamaAslam]

still same problem ...
i change the urls but problem not solves . can you guide me what type of url we have to enter in Privacy statement URL and Terms of use URL ??

There is an collision between botbuilder and microsoft review ping request.
Basically ChatConnector says that it can't allow unknown channelId: test , it will allow only
these channels bing,directline,email,facebook,groupme,kik,skype,slack,sms,telegram,webchat.

Here the error

ERROR: ChatConnector: receive - endorsements validation failure. channelId in req.body: test didn't match the endorsements: bing,directline,email,facebook,groupme,kik,skype,slack,sms,telegram,webchat.

I think we need to mark this as bug.

I have published my app on messenger and it works normally, only Skype has an issue

[UsamaAslam]

okay .. then is their any way to solve this bug / issue ??
can you guide me or inform me how can i remove this bug and add skype channel in my bot ?

thanks

[Cartman720]

I don't know, like you I have an issue with this too :)
If this is a bug we can't do anything from our side and need to wait for @nwhitmont I think.

[Cartman720]

Also I am using NodeJS SDK for this, so I don't think that both NodeJS and ASP.NET SDK's are buggy.
I think we need PR for both repos (which is not optimal IMHO) or fixing from MS backend :)

[nwhitmont]

There's a problem with the publishing workflow. We are actively working to fix the issue.

[Cartman720]

Thanks @nwhitmont !

[nwhitmont]

We should have this hotfixed soon, probably in the next 1-2 hour.

[Cartman720]

Great!

[nwhitmont]

@UsamaAslam @Cartman720 Should be fixed now. Can you verify if its working for you?

[nwhitmont]

Fix is deployed

[UsamaAslam]

thanks

Your bot did not respond to our Ping request with a success code. Please verify your bot is running and responsive before Publishing your bot. The error received from your bot was: InternalServerError(500), Internal Server Error is the error am getting. what could be wrong?
