Bot gives same response multiple times when deployed with azure bot service

@uprg - Thank you for your patience. Are you still having an issue with this? My initial guess to the cause of the problem is with Emulator which depends Web Chat. Web Chat, at this point, is not setup to work with streaming responses like those generated from something like ChatGPT. What is more, Emulator is using an older version of Web Chat. This needs to be updated to current version, however there is no ETA on that, at the moment.

If you use another client that isn't Web Chat based, does the issue persist there?
If you perform logging in App.py on the if...else statement, are you certain it is accurately filtering the incoming text between questions and non-questions?
To that end, since it is an echo bot, is it repeating responses because the text in both the original message as well as in the echoed response are virtually the same?

@stevkan Thank you for responding.

• Yes the messages are getting correctly identified for if they are a question or if they are not.

• The user request message and response message are not same.

• The issue isn't resolved but we have stopped further development because of the two times response issue.

@uprg - Ok, I will attempt a repro of the issue using the code above, providing I'm not missing anything.

There isn't enough info here to make a firm determination. However, I question how this is done. Typically, the 'message' implementation would just call 'process_activity'. The the ActivityHandler (the bot) would handle the business logic.

Given:

        if status["isQuestion"] == False:
            body["text"] = status["text"]
            activity = Activity().deserialize(body)
            auth_header = req.headers["Authorization"] if "Authorization" in req.headers else ""
            await ADAPTER.process_activity(activity, auth_header, BOT.on_turn)
        else:
              callOpenAI(status["text"])
             body["text"] = status["text"]
             activity = Activity().deserialize(body)
             auth_header = req.headers["Authorization"] if "Authorization" in req.headers else ""
             await ADAPTER.process_activity(activity, auth_header, BOT.on_turn)

Whatever 'callOpenAI' does would not stop the EchoBot.on_message_activity from executing.

1. isQuestion == False: EchoBot sends back (echo's) whatever the user sent
2. isQuestion == true: Something happens is 'callOpenAI', then EchoBot sends back whatever the user sent

Check: The indentation on the line with 'callOpenAI'
