detect_intent_texts gives empty list_value about python-dialogflow

[babujipa]

I have seen this happening when the agent is created thru api. You may do one of the two below as a work around:
Option 1. Open the intent that is returning empty parameters and just save the intent once. Agent will start the training and after a few seconds will complete training

Option 2: Make the parameter mandatory (especially if you are creating the intent/agent thru api call) in the Action and Parameter session while creating the intent

This appears to be answered, if not, please feel free to re-open.

Thanks! :)

@babujipa thanks, option 1 seems to work. Is there any workaround that can be done through code though ?

Yes. If you are generating the intent thru code , make that parameter mandatory and it will work

@babujipa Could you please give me pointers on how to make parameter mandatory through code, I couldn't find any example. Do we do it through the intent call itself ?

This is my intent creation call
dialogflow_v2.types.Intent( display_name=display_name, training_phrases=training_phrases, messages=[message])

I see that this has a parameter called "parameters".
parameters: Optional. The collection of parameters associated with the intent.
I tried inserting a dictionary here but it has some protobuf error. Is this the correct direction ?

You may have modify the code below to fit into your program

############################
name = intent.name
myintent = intents_client.get_intent(name,intent_view=dialogflow.enums.IntentView.INTENT_VIEW_FULL)
myintent.Parameter.mandatory = True
lang='en'
response = intents_client.update_intent(myintent, lang)
