luis update version|application silently ignores model changes other than rename

[dkisselev]

Tool

Name: LUIS

Describe the problem

I'm using ludown to generate json models and trying to create a quick iterative flow such as: ludown parse toluis... && luis update version --in...

The luis update version command currently only supports updating the name or description of the version (as documented in the readme).

However, it accepts a complete json model file with --in and silently performs no operations with most of the file.

As a user, this is disorienting because I discovered the command by navigating the CLI's output, luis import version worked as expected, yet luis update version returned success but no changes were appearing in the portal.

Describe the solution you'd like

The LUIS CLI & API should be able to handle full in-place replacement for versions & applications (#633).

In the mean time, the CLI (and possibly API) should return a warning that the submitted update request only changed the name/description because updating full versions is not implemented.

Hi Denis,

The functionality to just update the name/ description of the application is by design. We outline that in the Readme to avoid the confusion.

Regarding your suggestion to display a warning, this is not conventional. Traditionally you can always send extra JSON properties in a request body and they would get silently dropped if the API does not need them. You wouldn't expect an API accepting a JSON payload to behave like that.
