error creating session for assistant service / Resource not found / 404

[BzowK]

Hey All -

Followed the instructions to set everything up (as best I could - they were wildly outdated) and when executing "sudo node conversation.js" everything starts correctly and correctly types the command I speak however once one is recognized, it errors out. Below is the error, my config, and what I've tried (which includes potential solutions from other similar issues.)

The Error
info: Hello from TJBot!
info: Initializing TJBot with microphone,speaker,led_neopixel,servo
You can ask me to introduce myself or tell you a joke.
Try saying, "Johnny Five, please introduce yourself" or "Johnny Five, what can you do?"
You can also say, "Johnny Five, tell me a joke!"
Say 'stop' or press ctrl-c to exit this recipe.
info: TJBot heard: "tell me a joke"

error: error creating session for assistant service. please check that tj.configuration.converse.assistantId is defined.

My Setup
config.js

export default {
    assistantId: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', // add your assistant id from Watson Assistant
    hasCamera: false, // set this to false if your TJBot doesn't have a camera
    robotName: 'Johnny Five', // set this to the name you wish to use to address your tjbot!
};

What I've Tried

• Setting up a new Assistant from scratch
• Using the Action Skill ID instead of Assistant ID (as listed in Assistant Settings) as mentioned in #152
• A variety of different keys I found as wasn't certain which I should use. Currently, I think it's what you get from clicking Manage at the top, Access (IAM), API Keys, selecting Classic Infrastructure keys, view details, then the listed API key. Is that correct?

Thanks Guys!

Hello BzowK.
We are actually in the process of updating the code and instructions. As you mentioned, there are information that is outdated, code that does not work anymore, and we are working on this. Feel free to check back again in the near future.

Also, you may want to remove your API credentials from this post, since this is open for everyone to see.

Thanks - I changed the ending part of them but will blank them all out just in case. Appreciate it!
