How do I access the manifest.json in a Azure WebApp Bot generated using powershell?

Question

I created and published an Azure WebApp Bot using the following document: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/powershell/bot-builder-powershell-quickstart?view=azure-bot-service-4.0

I need to now enable this bot for file upload to OneDrive, but the downloaded code does not contain a manifest.json. Do I need to add this manually? And if so, where do I put it and how to do I point to it?

@Robin A Thanks for reaching out to us, please try to save it in the root of your project folder as manifest.json.

The manifest.json file should be placed in the root directory of your bot source code. You can then reference the manifest.json file in your bot code by using the BotFrameworkAdapterSettings class. Here's an example of how to do this in C#:

var adapter = new BotFrameworkAdapter(new BotFrameworkAdapterSettings
{
    AppId = configuration["MicrosoftAppId"],
    AppPassword = configuration["MicrosoftAppPassword"],
    ChannelService = configuration["ChannelService"],
    OpenIdMetadata = new Uri(configuration["BotOpenIdMetadata"]),
    // Reference the manifest.json file here
    ManifestAppId = configuration["ManifestAppId"],
    ManifestEndpoint = configuration["ManifestEndpoint"]
});

In this example, the ManifestAppId and ManifestEndpoint properties are used to reference the manifest.json file. You will need to replace the configuration["ManifestAppId"] and configuration["ManifestEndpoint"] values with the appropriate values for your bot.

Please have a try and let me know how it works.
