I am developing a Dialogflow webhook using dialogflow-fulfillment-nodejs client to find temperature for a city. While using the services to fetch the temperature for a city, everything works and the correct response is also generated but the response is not sent to the user even when the right method is called.
Here is the issue in the Dialogflow GitHub repo
Code
function getTemp(agent) {
const timeStart = new Date().getTime();
console.info(`temp function called`);
// agent.add(`Temperature in New Delhi is 50 degree Celsius!`); // This works
serviceRequest.getTemp("New Delhi", function(resp){
if (resp['status'] === 'Y') {
// success
const msg = `Temperature in New Delhi is ${resp['temp']} Celsius!`;
console.log(`Speech Response -- ${msg}`);
console.log(`Type of msg -> ${typeof msg}`);
agent.add(msg);
} else {
// failure
agent.add(`There was some error with the backend. Please try again later.`);
}
const timeEnds = new Date().getTime();
console.log("
Complete 'getTemp' process took " + (timeEnds - timeStart) + " milliseconds.")
});
console.log("------ temperature function ends here ------");
}
'getTemp': function (city, callback) {
let respBack = {};
doTimeOutTest(function(resp){
respBack['temp'] = resp;
respBack['status'] = 'Y';
callback(respBack);
});
}
function doTimeOutTest(callback){
// below commented code takes < 10 ms to execute, but does not send any response back to dialogflow as call ends before it is executed
// setTimeout(function() {
// callback("30 degree");
// }, 1);
// Below code works even when it takes more time to execute
for(let i=0; i<10000; i++){
for(let j=0; j<10000; j++){
//
}
}
callback("30 degree");
}
