Stuck connecting about botframework-directlinejs

You have to either call postActivity or subscribe to activity$ to actually connect.

Doing both:

  directLine.activity$
    .subscribe(
      activity => process(activity),
      error => console.error("activity$ error", error)
    );
  
  directLine.postActivity({
          from: { id: 'myUserId', name: 'myUserName' }, // required (from.name is optional)
          type: 'message',
          text: "hi"
        }).subscribe(
          id => logger.debug("Posted activity, assigned ID ", id),
          error => logger.error("Error posting activity", error)
        );

Looks right to me. Have you tried creating a WebChat control and passing in the same secret?

[nsantini]

I have WebChat enabled, and its working, tried the WebChat secret for DirectLine and still not working. Will try the DirectLine secret on the WebChat to double check that too

[nsantini]

Confirmed WebChat works with either secret, but DirectLine doesn't work with either

@nsantini Is this a pure Node app?

Take a look here to see if that helps you any: #29
