Echobot v2 - run locally error

[jamil-z]

Hi, I wanted to know how I can run the echobot v2 locally, as there used to be a local configuration file where I could add keys and test quickly, but that no longer exists.

What I do is clone the project and try to run it in Visual Studio as an administrator.

Note that I have already deployed it using steps 1, 2, and 3 in Azure, but for testing purposes, I want to run it locally.

When running the sample, you are not providing the necessary configuration to the application. Given you didn't change any code, we are looking at the following line that's failing:

microsoft-graph-comms-samples/Samples/PublicSamples/EchoBot/src/EchoBot/BotHost.cs

Line 86 in 87aa1b2

if (appSettings.UseLocalDevSettings)

appSettings must the culprit. It's initialized further up the file by loading the AppSettings section from the configuration

microsoft-graph-comms-samples/Samples/PublicSamples/EchoBot/src/EchoBot/BotHost.cs

Lines 66 to 67 in 87aa1b2

	var section = builder.Configuration.GetSection("AppSettings");
	var appSettings = section.Get<AppSettings>();

Hope this helps.
