LUIS not recognizing dialogs stored in subfolders

[teamplumaa]

Microsoft BotbuilderSDK: 3.15.0
Language: NodeJs

I am trying to initialize my dialogs with LUIS but it's not working.

I have each dialog in different subfolders. I am using bot.library and require to call the subfolders in app.js. The dialogs work when I use session.beginDialog to trigger them as in the example below.

var bot = new builder.UniversalBot(connector, function (session) {
session.beginDialog('hello:Hello')
}).set('storage', cosmosStorage);

But the conversations are not initiated when Luis is included. Each conversation has the correct LUIS calls/integrations.

Here is the full source code:

require('dotenv').config();
const restify = require('restify');

const builder = require('botbuilder');

var fs = require('fs');

var clients = require('restify-clients');

var azure = require('botbuilder-azure');

var listenPort = process.env.port || process.env.PORT || 3978;

var server = restify.createServer()

server.listen(listenPort, '::', () => {
  console.log(`ssssTestt`)
});


var connector = new builder.ChatConnector({
    appId: process.env.MICROSOFT_APP_ID,
    appPassword: process.env.MICROSOFT_APP_PASSWORD
});


var bot = new builder.UniversalBot(connector, function (session) {
    session.endDialog(`I'm sorry, I did not understand '${session.message.text}'.\nType 'help' to know more about me :)`)
}).set('storage', cosmosStorage);


var luisRL = new builder.LuisRecognizer(process.env.LUIS_MODEL_URL).onEnabled(function (context, callback) {
  var enabled = context.dialogStack().length === 0
  callback(null, enabled)
});


var intents = new builder.IntentDialog({ recognizers: [luisRL] });
bot.recognizer(intents);


server.post('/api/messages', connector.listen());

bot.on('conversationUpdate', function (message) {
  if (message.membersAdded) {

    greetings = 'welcome to Joey's Pizza?'

    message.membersAdded.forEach(function (identity) {
      if (identity.id === message.address.bot.id) {
        bot.send(new builder.Message()
          .address(message.address)
          .text(greetings)
        )
      }
    })
  }
});

bot.library(require('./dialogs/reservations').createLibrary());
bot.library(require('./dialogs/order').createLibrary());
bot.library(require('./dialogs/cancellations').createLibrary());

@stevengum I see that you have provided insights on problems with LUIS in the past, any help will be appreciated

Hi @teamplumaa

Please check out the Contoso Flowers sample's Multi-Dialogs approach using builder.Library:

@EricDahlvang thanks for the reply.

However, the post does not give any guidelines or path to the answers I was looking for so other recommendations might be appreciated.

The reason for posting here for the second time was that your Support Engineers were not responding via Stack Overflow.

I have been waiting for help with regards to this matter for almost two weeks now, and even though I love MS Botframework, I am close to recommending a different bot framework to the client if LUIS cannot handle subfolders and strictly requires having information all in app.js.
