Trying to get direct line to point ngrok failing

Question

• I have run my bot locally (success)

• I have set ngrok (success)

• I have tested the remote url (success)

• I have added Direct Line webchat to my local running site (success)

• I have set up Direct Line and used this secret in my webchat (success)

However, I still get the old bot response (hosted on Azure)

So I have gone to the bot framework website --> my bot --> settings --> Messaging endpoint and set the URL as my ngrok address

It seems to be saved, but I get a strange popup saying

CorrelationID : SHUjnuhs=

Or some other random shortcode. Seems to be an error from API/botmanager and response to an error 500

Just wondered if there is something else I am missing here in order to get direct line speaking to my locally running bot

Answer 1

Usually, that error means that the messaging endpoint has a space at the beginning and so it's not being saved (that's why you are seeing the old message). Reload the page, and before saving make sure there is no space at the begiining of the url.
