Debug Dialog skill

In case you are unable to receive the expected response from the Dialog skill, you can debug using the following troubleshooting tips:

Using Insights

• Click the eye icon below the user query to know the intent mapped to the query.

• In the Insights pop-up, you can know if the query is mapped to the required intent type, skill name, intent name, response node, and the language of the query.

• You can then consider updating the conversation flow, if required, based on the details available in the insights.

Using Debug logs

Use console.log to log messages at specific steps in the script. This helps to verify if the script is executing as expected and to identify points of failure. You can then use the Debug logs options in Dialog skill to display all the logs generated using console.log.

Consider that in the Order skill of the Pizza agent, you have logged context for an intent:

console.log(context);

• In the Dialog skill page, click the Debug -> Debug logs option in the left navigation menu.
• Click the agent icon in the bottom-right corner.
• Enter the pizza order details. Context details are displayed in the Debug logs window. Similarly, you can use console.log to log messages at specific steps in the script, as required.

{% hint style="info" %} Note: In the Debug logs pop-up window, a maximum of 50 consecutive Console.log statements can be printed. {% endhint %}

Using Conversation history

You can check the user query from the Conversation history to view the complete flow that caused an error or unexpected response.
