Redirects inside of replies: Deprecated?
  
 
Posted: Jul 25, 2016

I’m relying on redirects inside of replies for my conversational branching logic. This works well with Python 1.12.3. However, using Javascript 1.14.0 it seems to have died. Check out this example:

https://play.rivescript.com/s/2UXSud1kMw

This is from the “Or Something” on the tutorial page. Asking “what is my id or something” no longer prints the “or something” reply. Looking at debug, I see this line:

Try to match ” what is my id” against what is my id (what is my id)
Reply: ERR: No Reply Matched

Is this feature deprecated? I’ll have to do some major reprogramming if so…

Thanks!! (PS, the new playground is super cool)

It’s a bug in the JS version. The space in the {@ <star>} redirect (between the “@” and “<”) isn’t getting removed properly, so the code starts trying to find a match for ” what is my id” against a trigger “what is my id” (with no space in it), and failing.

For now, just remove the space. This is a working version of your example: https://play.rivescript.com/s/LAAfiYHalL

I made a bug ticket to remind myself to fix this soon: https://github.com/aichaos/rivescript-js/issues/145

Noah, awesome! I also noticed the extra space in ” what is my id” but wasn’t sure how to resolve. This is a critical feature and I’m so happy it’s a solvable problem.

Big time thank you for the quick reply!
