Persistent Error: "Loading Botium Plugin from none failed" even with CONTAINERMODE: "none"

[sachinlingiah]

Hi Botium team,

I'm encountering a persistent issue with Botium where I get the error "Loading Botium Plugin from none failed" even though I have CONTAINERMODE set to "none" in my botium.json file. I'm trying to use the SIMPLEREST connector with a mock server.

Steps to Reproduce:

Create a new project directory. Create botium.json (contents attached below). Create test.convo.txt (contents attached below). Create mock-server.js (contents attached below). Install express for the mock server: npm install express Start the mock server: node mock-server.js Run Botium: botium-cli run Expected Behavior:

Botium should connect to the mock server and run the tests defined in test.convo.txt.

Actual Behavior:

Botium fails with the following error:

Error: Loading Botium Plugin failed. Loading Botium plugin from none failed - Cannot find module 'none' ... (rest of the error message) Environment:

OS: macOS version Node.js: v23.7.0 npm: 10.9.2 Botium CLI: 1.1.0 Attachments:

botium.json: { "botium": { "Capabilities": { "PROJECTNAME": "TestBotium", "CONTAINERMODE": "none", "DIRECT_LINE_PROVIDER": "SIMPLEREST", "SIMPLEREST_URL": "http://localhost:3001/api/v1/chat", "SIMPLEREST_METHOD": "POST", "SIMPLEREST_BODY_TEMPLATE": { "message": "{{msg.messageText}}" }, "SIMPLEREST_RESPONSE_JSONPATH": "$.botReply" }, "Sources": [ { "name": "TestBotium", "connector": "SIMPLEREST", "providerUrl": "http://localhost:3001/api/v1/chat" } ], "ConvoFiles": [ "./*.convo.txt" ] } } test.convo.txt:

#begin test me: hello bot: Mock Bot: hello me: how are you? bot: Mock Bot: how are you? #end

mock-server.js:

const express = require('express'); const app = express(); const port = process.env.PORT || 3001; // Make sure this port matches botium.json

app.use(express.json());

app.post('/api/v1/chat', (req, res) => { const userMessage = req.body.message; const response = { "botReply": Mock Bot: ${userMessage} }; res.json(response); });

app.listen(port, () => { console.log(Mock server listening on port ${port}); }); ~

Additional Information:

I have tried the following troubleshooting steps (list all the steps you've taken, including reinstalling, clearing the cache, checking permissions, etc.). I have created a completely new project directory to rule out project-specific issues. I'm using a mock server for testing. Thank you for your help!
