Test with custom root dialog id

[cdagli]

Hello,

Is it possible to change the root id of the dialogs? In the README examples, '/' is always used as the id

bot.dialog('/',...

I receive the below error if I don't initialize a dialog with '/'

Uncaught Error: Dialog[*:/] not found.

Thanks

Have you tried navigating through the conversation to get to the desired dialog?

something like this:

const choiceMessage = 'pick a weather dialog or not';
const weatherDialog = 'weather';
const weatherResponse = 'look\'s like there\'ll be rain today';
const nonMatchResponse = 'Sorry, we didn\'t recognize that';

bot.dialog('/', [(session) => {
    Prompts.text(session, choiceMessage );
}, (session, result) => {
    if (result.response === weatherDialog) {
        session.beginDialog(weatherDialog);
    } else {
        session.send(nonMatchResponse);
    }
}]);

bot.dialog(weatherDialog, (session: Session) => {
    session.endDialog(weatherResponse);
});

const weatherMatchTest = new BotTester(bot)
    .sendMessageToBot('hi there!', choiceMessage)
    .sendMessageToBot(weatherDialog, weatherResponse);

const nonMatchTest = new BotTester(bot)
        .sendMessageToBot('hi there!', choiceMessage)
        .sendMessageToBot('this will not match', nonMatchResponse);

return weatherMatchTest
    .runTest()
    .then(() => nonMatchTest.runTest());

I'm closing this as the solution has been provided with a test that can prove it.

Let me know if you're still having trouble and I can work with you to resolve it or make the API better support your use case
