RASA - rasa run actions - localhost issues

I am learning Rasa using the RASA masterclass youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ0V6493mLvqdiVwOKWBODQ

It has all worked until it has come to loading actions. Each time I use rasa run actions in the command prompt (the first of the two actions) the program gets stuck and I have to manually kill it. When I use rasa shell --endpoints endpoints.yml, bot works however as I keep encountering when I add in a custom action the server returns cannot connect to localhost like in the bottom example. The question is how to I get passed this issue.

*Please ask for additional info

:enter image description here

my actions.py looks like the below:

from typing import Any, Text, Dict, List

from rasa_sdk import Action, Tracker
from rasa_sdk.executor import CollectingDispatcher
from rasa_sdk.events import SlotSet



class ActionFacilitySearch(Action):

    def name(self) -> Text:
        return "action_facility_search"

    def run(self, dispatcher: CollectingDispatcher,
            tracker: Tracker,
            domain: Dict[Text, Any]) -> List[Dict[Text, Any]]:

        facility = tracker.get_slot("facility_type")
        address = "300 Hyde St, San Francisco"
        dispatcher.utter_message("Here is the address of the {}:{}".format(facility, address))

        return []

in domain.yml, for the actions section I have;

actions:
- utter_greet
- utter_cheer_up
- utter_did_that_help
- utter_happy
- utter_goodbye
- utter_iamabot
- utter_ask_location
- action_facility_search

and in endpoints.yml, most is #'d out but the active bit is:

action_endpoint:
  url: "http://localhost:9000/webhook"

In terminal 1 run

rasa actions

In terminal 2 run Check you have the model inplace inside the models folder if it is not there use

rasa train

Then run

rasa shell --endpoints endpoints.yml

By looking at the given image, I am assuming that you want to run the action server on port 9000.
If you do want to run action server on port 9000, then you need to make these changes:

endpoints.yml:

action_endpoint:
  url: "http://localhost:9000/webhook"

Command to run action server:

rasa run actions -p 9000 --debug

user --debug option too check is there issue in action file.

I solve by using the following commands

rasa run actions

Then a second window for either:

rasa x

this then worked as it should.

it looks like your custome actions server couldn't able to connect with the endpoint server which is mentioned in endpoints.yml

While running actions.py provide the port number as rasa run actions -p portnumber

Make sure the port number you give here is mentioned in endpoints.yml

Very simple answer in the end. I needed to run two commands windows. The first one for: 

rasa run actions

Then a second window for either:

rasa x

or 

rasa shell

this then worked as it should.

Please do not change endpoints.yml with any other port for action_endpoint

Please check with 5055 port it was working perfectly.

action_endpoint:
  url: "http://localhost:5055/webhook"

Your action server running on 5055 port. if you want it to set 9000 then change it from rasa core backend request.
