Msteams-docs: The examples should work - should they not? They should at least compile.

[tabinnorway]

Neither does. Download the C# example, open in VS - nothing works. Lots of errors. Try to upgrade NuGet packages and things get worse.
A little better with the Node example: Hoek.inherits is not a function. OK, we can probably track this down easily enough.

Teams is a popular application. The QA for the examples is not up to par.

@tabinnorway , Sorry for your inconvenience, Could you please take a look at latest Bot Builder SDK V4 sample code? Let me know if this doesn't help you out.

@tabinnorway Regarding the NodeJS sample, try uninstalling gulp from global scope npm uninstall -g gulp, then re-install all the dependencies from the sample-project npm install and run the app npm start.

I had the same problem and this worked for me. Cheers :)

@kosset, I've tried that and I get a whole slew of errors. If I delete node_modules and package-lock.json I get farther as everything installs with npm install. However, when I run npm start I get sh: nodemon: command not found. So I install nodemon. npm install --save-dev nodemon Then with npm start I get

Warning: To load an ES modeul, set "type": "module" in the package.json or use the .mjs extension.
app.js:4
import path from 'path';

I am getting following error while running the code.

import path from 'path';

Can anyone please help to resolve.

@mfbhatt I was having that same issue. I ended up cloning a forked repo. https://github.com/jrkerns/msteams-samples-hello-world-nodejs

This one works after you install the necessary dependencies (npm install).

You will run into gulp 3 syntax issues when trying to create the app package but check this out to solve that problem:
