Bixby: Audio player concept

Question

I am showing artist to user and following up by asking if user wanted to listen the song of this artist.

Endpoint

action-endpoint (PlayArtist) {
  accepted-inputs (artist_id)   // here too yellow line (Missing required input `artistToPlay`)
  local-endpoint (PlayArtist.js)
}
action-endpoint (BuildArtistAudioInfo) {
  accepted-inputs (artist_id)
  local-endpoint (BuildArtistAudioInfo.js)
}

BuildArtistAudioInfo.model.bxb

action (BuildArtistAudioInfo) {
  type (Search)
  description (Makes a meow info to play.)
  collect{
    input (artist_id){
      type (ArtistID)
      min (Optional)
      max (One)
    }
  }
  output (audioPlayer.AudioInfo)
}

Follow-up

followup {
  prompt {
    dialog (Would you like to play music for this artist)
      on-confirm {
        if (false) {
          message (I see...)
        } else {
          intent {
            goal: PlayArtist
            value: $expr(singleArtistEvent.artistId)
          }
      }
   }
   on-deny {
      message (OK friend.)
   }
 }
}

Now i need to pass this value to PlayArtist action file but after seeing your sample capsule i am confused where to pass the input.

PlayArtist Action file

action (PlayArtist) {
  type (Search)
  collect {
     input (artist_id){
       type (ArtistID)
       min (Optional)
       max (One)
     }
     computed-input (artistToPlay) {
        description (Create the playlist to play)
        type (audioPlayer.AudioInfo)
        min (Required) max (One)
        compute {
           intent {
             goal: BuildArtistAudioInfo
             value:ArtistID(artist_id) // i am confused over here, it's giving error ()
           }
        }
        //hidden     
     }

     computed-input (play) {
         description (By passing in the AudioInfo object to the PlayAudio action, we ask the client to play our sound.)
         type (audioPlayer.Result)
         compute {
            intent {
              goal: audioPlayer.PlayAudio
              value: $expr(artistToPlay)
            }
         }
         //hidden
      }
  }
  output (Result)
}

Do i need to extra accept-input? also BuildArtistAudioInfo.js file has songs info, so i need to get the artist id here and proceed it to the api where I will get song info. please guide.

You need an input artistID in action model PlayArtist and action model BuildArtistAudioInfo, that's how the artistID pass to BuildArtistAudioInfo.js as an argument
In computed-input (artistToPlay), intent block should have a value field
Use value in intent instead of value-set, since it's single value, not a set
Make sure in endpoints.bxb you correctly link JS file to action model, that is accepted input and argument name must match.

Why do I need input artistID in both action, isn't it enough to pass to BuildArtistAudioInfo action so that I can pass it to the js? – Rahul Gupta Jul 08 '19 at 18:49
(artistID) --> follow-up --> PlayArtist --> BuildArtistAudioInfo. The value you set in follow-up cannot get to BuildArtistAudioInfo directly. – BixbyDevSupport-Tokonyan Jul 08 '19 at 19:19
Have updated my question as per the instruction, but something is still not working. – Rahul Gupta Jul 09 '19 at 09:43
If you comment out `hidden`, then that input must be an argument of linked JS function, for the error, try $expr(artist_id) – BixbyDevSupport-Tokonyan Jul 09 '19 at 16:00
