Problem with running Composer created project from VS2017

[vovanb]

We use windows service to host bot. Before test it in windows service I decided to use Composer output in IISExpress host: I created in Composer new empty project and just added simple response on beginning, then tried to open Composer output from BotFramework-Composer\MyBots\ folder using VS 2017. It compiled correct but then when I tried to debug it in IISExpress I got below error: System.InvalidOperationException: 'Could not find 'UserSecretsIdAttribute' on assembly 'BotProject'. Check that the project for 'BotProject' has set the 'UserSecretsId' build property. –

Version

4.6.0-preview2

Windows

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create new Empty project in composer
2. Test it in Emulator
3. Open new project VS2017
4. Compile and execute
5. Will be exception :
   System.InvalidOperationException: 'Could not find 'UserSecretsIdAttribute' on assembly 'BotProject'. Check that the project for 'BotProject' has set the 'UserSecretsId' build property.

@vovanb Thanks for the suggestions. At this moment, the bot runtime created under each bot folder could not be executed as many resources have not been included. eg. bot assets - SecretsId and also other assets - luis related. Could you share the requirements why you are using VS instead of composer run ?

@hibrenda below number of reasons:

1. I want to add storing state into on-Premise MS SQL Data
2. I want to deploy Bot to be running from on-premise server and not from Azure and hosted in IIS
3. I want to add custom c# libraries we need to interact from Bot (not https API)
   So idea is to use Composer to create Dialogs Flow and then use VS2017 to modify/add libraries as we usually doing in c# SDK.

@vovanb Thanks for sharing the requirements. Yes. Bring your own bot runtime is on our roadmap. After #1672 PR integrated, you can do it much easier.

@vovanb this issue has been solved, please sync with latest updates.

If your bot is using luis, please make sure do following steps before run by VS.

• create bot by composer
• click "start bot" button
• open your bot in vs
• update the luis setting in "Composer...<bot>\ComposerDialogs\settings\appsettings.json as following
  
• If you did not use westus, please follow the format "https://{region}.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/", and reference https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/luis/luis-reference-regions for region setting.
