Can not see any bots

[jwheat]

Describe the bug
I have Rasa UI running (non-docker configuration). In another terminal I have RASA 1.9.6 running. I can see my model, and other configuration data in Rasa UI, but when I click on Bots - there are none listed.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Bots on the left navigation
2. There are no bots listed
3. Click on Resposnes, Training, Models or any other item in the left, and the Bots drop-down is empty.

Expected behavior
I was expecting to see an item to select that represented the Rasa bot I have already setup and configured ouside of Rasa UI. Since the Dashboard can properly display my model, I presume it can also access my bot's domain, stories, etc.

Screenshots

• none

Installation Type (please complete the following information):
Source Code Install - had no problems getting it running. I changed the rasa_endoint in package.json to http://localhost:5005

Hi @jwheat - unfortunately this is not the case, your bot and its data need to be created in Rasa UI in order for you to edit and retrain the model for Rasa. Rasa UI does read which model is loaded but this is from the Rasa API. I think this would be a great feature/pull request to essentially "import" the Rasa data into Rasa UI.

Ahhh, ok, that makes sense.

I haven't dug into how it's all setup but may play around to see what could be done with an import of some kind. I have all of my nlu, story, and domain information broken out into multiple files each to keep them organized, so it would have to import a directory of files, or allow you to choose multiples at once. hmmm.

I'll create a bot first to get a feel for the UI (I haven't even played with it yet), and then take a look to see how it's built.

Hopefully I'll be in touch with a pull request ... or more questions :)

Sorry to bug you.
Couple questions about how this all works so I can plan for an uploader :)
Are there any docs on how to use everything (properly )? I can get around Rasa pretty well with files and commandline, but I'm not entirely sure how all of this UI works.

If I enter stories in the Stories component on the left, should those display under Training on the stories tab?

Can I bulk paste my config.yml, nlu.md, stories..md, domain.yml content there? and then train a new model?
