How do you get a Bixby confirmation view to show up?

I've spent a long time going over documentation but have not been able to get a confirmation view to show up before running my action. What are the steps to adding a confirmation view to a capsule?

I have an action called Evaluate and an address input that i automatically pull from the user's profile. I would like to confirm this address before running Evaluate in case the user wants to use a different address

Here's what I have done:

1) import viv.common in capsule.bxb:

import (viv.common) {
      as (common)
      version (3.30.0)
    }

2) add confirm/by statement to Evaluate action:

confirm {
    by (common.Confirmation)
  }

3) add a confirmation view that will match on the evaluate action:

confirmation-view {
    match: common.Confirmation {
      confirming {Evaluate (action) }
    }
    mode (PositiveEmphasis)
    message ("Is this the correct address?")

    render {
      layout {
        section {
          content{
            paragraph {
              style (Title_XS)
              value {
                template (
                "#{value(action.address)}}?"
                )
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
    confirm-options {        
        label ("Yes")
    }
    abort-options {
        label ("Try another Address")
        on-abort {
            intent {
              goal: InputAddress
            }
        }
    }
}

I was hoping that would do it, but I think i'm missing something else. Any ideas?

I've been looking into this and my guess is that it doesn't work with a Calculation action (or Constructor action), you need a transaction action, based on the following sentence in the confirmation-view documentation:

There must be a corresponding transactional action asking for confirmation with the confirm key.

Take a look at the sample capsule capsule-sample-bank. Committing a transfer prompts the user for Confirmation. They use two confirmation prompts:

  • The first one is done before to prompt the user to confirm before evaluating CreateTransfer and results in a Transfer model. This is the one you're looking for.
  • The second one is done using transaction-support and a match { Transfer } to match the output of the first one and starts a new intent on CommitTransfer upon user confirmation.

The relevant files in the folder structure are:

+-- models/
|  +-- actions/
|  |  +-- CreateTransfer.model.bxb
+-- resources/
|  +-- base/
|  |  +-- dialog/
|  |  |  +-- CreateTransfer_Confirmation.dialog.bxb
|  |  |  +-- Transfer_Result.dialog.bxb
|  |  +-- transactions/
|  |  |  +-- precommit.transaction.bxb
|  |  +-- views/
|  |  |  +-- CreateTransfer_Confirmation.view.bxb

Maybe someone from the Bixby developer team can expand this answer. I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be possible to use a confirmation on a Calculation action.
