Rasa: dispatcher.utter_message() does not work in version 1.5.0

[Disha-Patil]

Rasa version: 1.5.0

Python version:3.7

Operating system (windows, osx, ...):ubuntu

Issue:
dispatcher.utter_message() does not give any message when running custom actions.
The action gets triggered and there is no error as well. But the message is returned.

Error (including full traceback):
no error shown. action runs successfully.

Command or request that led to error:
dispatcher.utter_message()

What do you mean by does not give any message, but the message is returned? Can you provide the action code where you used dispatcher.utter_message()?

Hi @erohmensing ,

I guess this is related to: https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa/issues/4852

sorry for confusing words.

In action code I have following line dispatcher.utter_message("Some message")
The action gets triggered and I can verify this in Rasa interactive, also there are no errors shown.
However, since action is triggered and completed successfully I should be getting the output as "some message" which I fail to get.

I have now installed rasa version 1.4.6 where it works as expected.

No worries. Thanks for the info! We are already on top of fixing it :) Will update you when a fix is released.

Hi @Disha-Patil ,

this issue should be fixed with Rasa 1.5.1 which is already installable, @erohmensing told me ! :-)
