Botpress: Flow Caching

[JijeshP]

I have migrated flows from botpress 10.x to 11.x and i have replaced state.$r === 0 to temp.$r === 0 in main.flow.json but it seems caching.. and I'm getting below error always.

22:29:15.742 DialogEngine Error processing "state.$r === 0" Err: state is not defined Flow: main.flow.json Node: welcome

I cannot find state.$r in my main.flow.json

Is this a known issue ? how can i solve it !

• I am running: official binary
• My OS is: osx

@JijeshP There is caching for flows, but when you edit the file manually and save it, the cache is cleared.
When the server is restarted, it's also freshly loaded from the files.

My guess is that there is still some places that use the state.$r property. What are the exact steps that you took to migrate your bot? What files did you move between the two? What did you edit? Are you running in production using the ghost / postgres?

Thanks

@allardy I have tried restarting the server multiple times and it didn't worked. but when i start the server next day it worked. :)

I have followed the below steps as described in the docs

Copy the content of generated/content to data/bots/bot-name/content-elements
Copy the content of generated/flows to data/bots/bot-name/flows
Copy the content of generated/intents to data/bots/bot-name/intents

Then i changed all state.$r to temp.$r and user.$r

I have edited the flow using the studio and then i confirmed the changes in JSON file.
I'm running on local and not using ghost / progress

Thanks

@JijeshP Very strange, I don't see where this can be coming from. Great to hear it fixed itself tho, please let me know if you have other issues with the migration. The guide was kind of short and maybe some steps are missing

[allardy]

@JijeshP Just to let you know, I found the culprit. When you discuss with the bot, the context is saved in the database. If there's a processing error, the context will not clear itself and will stay on that instruction. The error disappeared the next day because the session of 30 minutes expired, so context was cleared

[JijeshP]

@allardy what's the way to clear the context manually.

@JijeshP The reset button can be used during a conversation:
