I am developing a capsule and want to test if it works as desired with Named Dispatch.

However, I am unable to trigger the default action in Simulator or as a private capsule on my device.
Instead of the default-action, another action (that does have Training entries) is invoked.

The problem seems to be, that before testing, the capsule has to be set. Therefore, named dispatch is circumvented.

How can Named Dispatch (as described here https://bixbydevelopers.com/dev/docs/reference/type/capsule-info.dispatch-name#how-named-dispatch-works) be tested without publishing to the marketplace?

You can use one of the seven reserve utterance to test in IDE simulator:

"speak to %dispatch-name%"

"talk to %dispatch-name%”

"start %dispatch-name%"

"load %dispatch-name%"

"ask %dispatch-name%"

"talk with %dispatch-name%”

"use %dispatch-name%"

Remember that it is only valid for en-US target. You can check out Github example and more details in this KB article.

  • Does the restriction on en-US target apply only to **testing**? I.e.: Will named dispatch work for actual users when a capsule is published to the marketplace with only de-DE target? – Tobias Dec 15 '19 at 16:57
  • Not just IDE, it is enforced at platform level, meaning restriction also apply to marketplace. – BixbyDevSupport-Tokonyan Dec 16 '19 at 17:38
  • I see. If default-action is not available in e.g. **de-DE target**, what is the best practice approach to implement a use case similar to this one? : -> User invokes a capsule that plays radio stations and specifies which station they want to hear: "*Ask MyRadioCapsule to play RadioStationXYZ*". A 3rd party webservice provides search results and stores users station preference. The next time, the user just says "*Bixby, open MyRadioCapsule*", the last played station is fetched from the webservice and played. – Tobias Dec 17 '19 at 09:19
  • Unfortunately, there is no way to use "start/open MyRadioCapsule" in target other than en-US at the moment. – BixbyDevSupport-Tokonyan Dec 17 '19 at 18:12
