No response from bot emulator after the new update to Bot Framework/Azure Bot Service?

  • Article

Why I cannot debug with my bot emulator after the new update to Bot Framework/Azure Bot Service?

Did Microsoft just broke bot framework?

Not really. But I spent a good few hours searching for the cause.

The cause?

bot.set('storage', tableStorage);

Comment this little guy out when you’re doing a local debug. Upon publish, re-enable it.

//bot.set('storage', tableStorage);

You’re welcome if this save you a couple of minutes/hours.
