I created a knowledge base through QnA maker and then followed the steps to create a chatbot.
The bot works, however when I download its source code and change something in the code, it won't compile. (even if I don't change anything)
I first do 'dotnet restore' and then 'dotnet build' but then it fails to build and the error message states that I don't have a main method. It seems it is missing
some files, this also fails in the online editor.
The error is identical to this one:

It still isn't fixed it seems.
Any help would be appreciated.
@Milos Tomic It looks like some files are missing in the download of source code. The original issue in the thread you mentioned was fixed and it looks like it might have creeped in again. We will check this internally and provide an update. Thanks for reporting this.
@romungi-MSFT is there any update perhaps on this? thanks
@Milos Tomic We can confirm that this is a bug as some code files are missing in the zip file package that is being downloaded. You can use the attached missing files and include them in your project to re-compile.
102414-adapterwitherrorhandler.txt 102522-program.txt 102523-startup.txt
Please download them and rename them as .cs files in your solution.
A fix will be rolled out soon to include these files as part of the zip package. Thanks.
Thanks. Where should I place those files, in the root folder of the project or some subfolder?
They go in the root folder.
I added the files via App Service Editor, then built the code in there with success. However my bot gives this error now: 'There was an error sending this message to your bot: HTTP status code NotFound'.
I also then built it via Kudu Console as per here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60301496/an-error-has-occurred-during-web-site-deployment-bot-framework
However still the same issue with the bot.
Any ideas?
@Milos Tomic A hot fix has been rolled out for the issue with missing files in the code download. Could you please check and verify if the code builds successfully without manually adding any files?
EDIT: Please re-publish and re-deploy the bot before downloading the source code and building it.
It works! Thanks very much.
