Hello Mike Allen,
Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.
I understand that you are creating a bot using template but never complete the process.
This looks like common and generic error, since there is not specific error message. I will advise you to check the followings to resolve it:
- You need to check your subscription has the necessary permissions to create and update resources. Verify that the permissions are correctly configured for the resource group, language service, and app service plan.
- Double-check the configurations for your resource groups, language service instances, and app service plans. Ensure they are set up correctly in the regions you are using.
- Access the deployment logs in the Azure portal if you can, look for any error messages or warnings that might provide insight into what is causing the deployment to hang. This step is crucial for identifying specific issues.
- Use tools like
nslookup
andcurl
to test network connectivity between your bot and the Azure services. This can help identify any network issues that might be causing the deployment to hang. - Test your bot locally using the Bot Framework Emulator before deploying to Azure. This can help identify any issues in your bot's code that might be causing the deployment to fail.
- Verify if there are any ongoing service outages or issues with Azure services in your region that might be affecting the deployment.
- Ensure that you are using the latest versions of the Azure SDKs and tools. Sometimes, updating to the latest versions can resolve compatibility issues.
I hope this is helpful! Do not hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions or clarifications.
