[FIXED] Dialogflow v2 Java Client Library detectIntent with Spring Boot: No DesignTimeAgent found for project

Issue

While trying to detectIntent from text I have received a below exception (project-id was replaced). Cannot find anything in google related to DesignTimeAgent issue. Any help is appreciated.

Exception :

There was an unexpected error (type=Internal Server Error, status=500).
io.grpc.StatusRuntimeException: NOT_FOUND: com.google.apps.framework.request.NotFoundException: No DesignTimeAgent found for project 'MY_PROJECT_ID'.

Rest controller to trigger detectIntent test (as https://localhost:8080/api/test):

@RestController

    private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(DialogFlowRestController.class);

    private String userText = "Weather forecast for today in Berlin";
    private final String LANG_CODE = "en-US";
    private final String PROJECT_ID = System.getenv().get("GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT");
    private String sessionId = UUID.randomUUID().toString();

    @GetMapping(value = "/test", produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
    @ResponseBody
    public String test() throws Exception { 
        logger.info("test was called");

        try (SessionsClient sessionsClient = SessionsClient.create()) {
            SessionName session = SessionName.of(PROJECT_ID, sessionId);

            TextInput.Builder textInput = TextInput.newBuilder().setText(userText).setLanguageCode(LANG_CODE);

            QueryInput queryInput = QueryInput.newBuilder().setText(textInput).build();

            DetectIntentResponse response = sessionsClient.detectIntent(session, queryInput);
            return response.toString();
        }
    }

Solution

OK, I have figured it out.

The above misleading error message was caused by the use of a wrong PROJECT_ID. My mistake was, that first I have created a new Project with a Service Account, gave to it dialogflow API rights and later I have tried to use its name and related PK JSON for my detectIntent calls. BUT it was not linked with Dialogflow Project ID.

So, to fix it I have started with a default Project ID, which was given to my new Dialogflow Agent and following instruction https://dialogflow.com/docs/reference/v2-auth-setup I have created a new Project with a Service Account which fit my Dialogflow Agent.
