This is a [Botium](https://github.com/codeforequity-at/botium-core) connector for testing your [Oracle Digital Assistant](https://www.oracle.com/application-development/cloud-services/digital-assistant/) chatbot.

__Did you read the [Botium in a Nutshell](https://medium.com/@floriantreml/botium-in-a-nutshell-part-1-overview-f8d0ceaf8fb4) articles? Be warned, without prior knowledge of Botium you won't be able to properly use this library!__

## How it works
Botium connects to the API of your Oracle Digital Assistant chatbot.

It can be used as any other Botium connector with all Botium Stack components:
* [Botium CLI](https://github.com/codeforequity-at/botium-cli/)
* [Botium Bindings](https://github.com/codeforequity-at/botium-bindings/)
* [Botium Box](https://www.botium.at)

## Requirements
* **Node.js and NPM**
* a **Oracle Digital Assistant bot**
* a **project directory** on your workstation to hold test cases and Botium configuration

## Install Botium and Oracle Digital Assistant Connector

When using __Botium CLI__:

```
> npm install -g botium-cli
> npm install -g botium-connector-oracleda
> botium-cli init
> botium-cli run
```

When using __Botium Bindings__:

```
> npm install -g botium-bindings
> npm install -g botium-connector-oracleda
> botium-bindings init mocha
> npm install && npm run mocha
```

When using __Botium Box__:

_Already integrated into Botium Box, no setup required_

## Connecting Oracle Digital Assistant chatbot to Botium

Process is very simple, you have to know just the Webhook URL and the Secret Key for your chatbot.

Create a botium.json with this URL and Secret in your project directory:

```
{
"botium": {
"Capabilities": {
"PROJECTNAME": "",
"CONTAINERMODE": "oracleda",
"ORACLE_WEBHOOK_URL": "...",
"ORACLE_WEBHOOK_SECRET": "..."
}
}
}
```

To check the configuration, run the emulator (Botium CLI required) to bring up a chat interface in your terminal window:

```
> botium-cli emulator
```

Botium setup is ready, you can begin to write your [BotiumScript](https://botium.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BOTIUM/pages/491664/Botium+Scripting+-+BotiumScript) files.

## How to start samples

There is a small demo in [samples](./samples) with Botium Bindings. It uses real Oracle Digital Assistant API.

### Real Oracle Digital Assistant API sample

* Setup your Oracle Digital Assistant in [oracle cloud](https://www.oracle.com/application-development/cloud-services/digital-assistant/)
(In the example there are test cases for `CbPizzaBot`, which can be pulled from the Digital Assistant store.)
* Install the dependencies and botium-core as peerDependency:
```
> npm install && npm install --no-save botium-core
```
* Navigate into the _sample/real_ directory
* Install the dependencies
```
> cd ./samples/real
> npm install
```
* Adapt botium.json in the sample directory:
* Change Webhook URL
* Change Webhook secret
* Start `inbound-proxy` (it will listen on `http://127.0.0.1:45100/`):
```
> npm run inbound
```
* In your Oracle Digital Assistant you need to set `Outgoing Webhook URI` according to the previous step set up inbound-proxy url.
(To make this localhost url public you can use e.g. [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/))
* Finally run the test
```
> npm test
```
