Debug Watson Assistant webhook

Question

My Watson Assistant dialog has a webhook call to an IBM Cloud Functions action. After I change the code in the action function and "Try it out" again in Watson Assistant, it doesn't pick up the change. Is there some cache I need to clear, or something I need to restart each time I make a code change?

Answer 1

In Watson Assistant in the "Try it out" are links / buttons to clear everything or to manage context variables. There you can reset the "Try it out" bot.

In general, when you assign values to a variable the value is kept until you clear or delete it . Thus, if you do not set input variables to null to clear them they are reused without asking the user for input again.
