Hi everyone and welcome to Copilot Developer Camp!
I've had a great time over the last weeks building this with @aycabas and @rabwill . We'd love to know how it goes for you and if we can answer any questions. Thanks!

[rabwill]

Hi @aycabas and @BobGerman my two-favourite developers 👋🏽
Thank you for starting this thread.

Hey everyone! We're thrilled to have you dive into these labs. We've poured a ton of effort into getting this up and running, so we really appreciate your excitement and engagement! 😄

Hi there!

Thanks for this great opportunity! I'm David Rousset working as a Product Manager on the Teams Toolkit, the VS Code extension helping you to create Declarative Agents or Custom Engine Agents. I'm interested in any feedback that could help us improving our product to improve your dev life! ;)

Hi @aycabas, @rabwill, and @BobGerman.

I've been trying with the lab. Wow! That is a fantastic resource, however... there are some things that are still not working. Not speaking about customer or internal test tenants that are not in private preview. But even with the Microsoft tenant the labs cannot be completed fully. Here are my feedback points so far:

1. Lab E2 fails to run the app due to missing capabilities on the manifest. These capabilities are defined in the trey-declarative-copilot.json file, which will only become available after Lab E3, Exercise 1. This occurs because, in Lab E2, the manifest.json file already references the declarativeCopilots extension object, but the associated files won’t exist until Lab E3, Exercise 1. I noticed that the latest file set already removed that reference, but my files still had that (I downloaded a few days ago).
2. Incorrect Env File Naming in Lab E3, Exercise 2: The env.local file mentioned in Lab E3, Exercise 2 is incorrectly referred to as env.env.local. It should simply be env.local.
3. Port Occupation Issue: It's common to receive an error indicating that the ports are occupied. Consider adding a note that if this occurs, the func process needs to be terminated to free up the ports. To do this, press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC, find the func process, and end it. This issue occurred multiple times during the lab.
4. Access Permission Prompt for Declarative Copilot: The first time you run the declarative copilot, a prompt appears asking for permission to allow access. This step is not mentioned in the instructions.
5. For some reason, the tunnel that is created during the build process is not the same tunnel that is being used to execute the queries. As you can see down here, the tunnel created during the process is one and the agent is failing trying to access a different one. That thing started to happen since two days ago.

@luishdemetrio FYI!

We figured out that for some reason the app is not being refreshed automatically on the MSFT tenant and I had to upload the zip manually. After that the devtunnel is correct and I can activate the API. We also noticed that the code is only working OK with the 24100324902 Teams version. I guess a rollout is happening right now that is updating the clients. @luishdemetrio still has an older version and his DA is not working ok.

Hi guys! I'm amazed with this camp, but can you help me please with building my own api plugin for declarative agent, for example I've got an fastapi endpoint which return warhammer 40k info via given fraction name, and i want to write a plugin.

Do you have a step-by-step guide? because i don't understand in LAB E2, how i have to modify trey-plugin.json or ai-plugin.json which is created by default, and how actually all request are made?

Hi @aycabas, @rabwill, and @BobGerman!

[swatiarora11]

I am able to provision the north wind messaging extension typescript sample (downloaded from Copilot for M365 github repo) in the demo tenant. All functionalities work fine with copilot in teams canvas. While provisioning the python implementation of the same sample using visual studio code teams toolkit, I am getting "We could not find a subscription" error. Can someone help me on this issue?

Lab E6 - Add Entra ID authentication: Why 2 Apps registrations are needed?

Hi Team,

In Lab E6 - Add Entra ID authentication, you defined two app registrations for the API plugin and the API service. I have a few questions about this:

1- Is this absolutely necessary? The documentation here indicates that one app is required for the API service only https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365-copilot/extensibility/api-plugin-authentication
2- If necessary, could you explain the architecture and the reasoning behind it?
3- If optional, do we have any pros/cons for each approach?

BR,

Have some important query, I am getting stuck.

I am building declarative copilot plugin. Whenever i launch my custom copilot project from visual studio code IDE, custom copilot caches old development tunnel and returns 404 - not found while invoking REST APIs.

I have been facing this issue from past 4-5 days. I have tried clearing browsing history and cached data, changed users and changed tenants but nothing seems to be working for me.

Can you suggest some hack/fix for it. Require it urgently, as i am not able to test any of the developed functionality.
