Conversation not possible in Google Hangouts Chat Private Message

[julbrs]

I am trying to implement a conversation using the googlehangouts adapter, and my goal is to be able to chat with my bot in PM. Unfortunately it seems to work only in public room.

Are you sure this is an issue with the Botkit core module?

This issue is occurring using the npm dependency botbuilder-adapter-hangouts after creating a new project with yo botkit.

What are you trying to achieve or the steps to reproduce?

I have created a feature create that implement a Conversation :

  // Init the convo
  let convo = new BotkitConversation('create', controller);

  // Create a yes/no question in the default thread...
  convo.ask('Do you want to create a new system ?', [
    {
      pattern:  'yes',
      handler: async(response, convo, bot) => {
        await convo.gotoThread('360wp');
      }

    },
    {
      default:  true,
      handler: async(response, convo, bot) => {
        await convo.gotoThread('quit');
      },
    },
  ], 'create');

  // 360wp
  convo.addQuestion('OK which 360wp version ? (`null` if none, `master`, `develop`, `v2019.4`...))', async(res,conv) => {
    await conv.gotoThread('360eyes');
  }, {key: "wp"}, '360wp');

...

Then call this convo with a hears:

  controller.addDialog(convo);

  controller.hears('create', ['direct_message', 'message'], async(bot, message) => {
    await bot.beginDialog('create');
  });

What was the result you received?

When I speak to the bot via public room it work as expected, the conversation is the following:

But in private message I have this:

Event using the @botname:

What did you expect?

I was expecting to see the conversation on private message the same as public room.

Context:

• Botkit version: 4.5.0
• Messaging Platform: Google Hangouts Chat
• Node version: 12.10
• Os: Mac OS 10.14.6
• Any other relevant information: using the botbuilder-adapter-hangouts 1.0.3

If you have any idea where to start searching for this, let me know I can try to find / search / PR this !

And to finish thanks for this nice framework that simplify our work !
