It shows errors when I am type the user input with "tell me a joke". The actions shows failed as below.

Your input → tell me a joke

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): ... (truncated for brevity) rasa.shared.exceptions.RasaException: Failed to execute custom action.

When I run the “rasa run actions”. It is fine as below:

Here is my joke action code:

from __future__ import absolute_import

from __future__ import division

from __future__ import print_function

from __future__ import unicode_literals

import logging

import requests

import json

from rasa_sdk import Action

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

class ActionRandom(Action):

def name(self):

# define the name of the action which can then be included in training stories

return "action_joke"

def run(self, dispatcher, tracker, domain):

request = json.loads(requests.get("http://api.icndb.com/jokes/random").text)

joke = request["value"]["joke"]  # extract a joke from returned json response

dispatcher.utter_message(joke)  # send the message back to the user

return []

How do I solve this?

It seems that your endpoints.yml file points to https instead of http actions server. If you want to use https indeed, add certificate parameters in rasa run actions command.
