Are the desktop studio and the web studio totally ...

I have a nice bot working more or less on the botpress studio website. But I need more Power, captain. So I figured I could integrate the bot I built into my dev environment. I tried both the Docker image and the direct download. The npm install failed. I get to the admin panel easily enough but when I go to try and import my bot, the exported bpz.... well for one the desktop studio doesn't like bpz files. So I converted it to tgz and a plain zip as well. Neither worked. So I checked the dir structure and the expected dir structure of the import is TOTALLY different than what was exported. I mean totally different. What gives? Am I missing something? Can I hook into botpress via an api and pull down my web platformed bot into my desktop dev environment? Or am I SOOL?

They are separate products. As of my understanding the V12 is not being updated any more.

Ugh thats dissapointing. Thanks. Is there any other way to integrate the web side with my desktop that you know about?
b
no, there isn't - as Decay says, our deprecated OSS solution is completely separate from the cloud client

Awesome its the BP video dude! Ok, so follow up question - does that mean that all the docs and the BP Wingman GPT chat for example which is recent as of 2023, when it gives me these tasty code bits that access all these handy objects like bp.* and suggestions to, for instance, create an action are all DOA? Say it aint so Joe. My primary purpose for linking to my dev env...apart from easy version control was to move a whole bunch of nodes into a workflow. Can I do that by editing the JSON in the exported file?
b
if they're using v12, i.e. the OSS package, then yeah, unfortunately
version control is something we know people want and it's on the roadmap for some point in the future, but we're trying to be thoughtful about the way it's implemented
I'm not sure if you can do that by editing the JSON - you'd have to give it a shot, but no guarantee of success...
n
alright well i appreciate the response! Sorry one more - botpress client, it says to use that to write an integration....is that at least working and up to date?
b
that one is, yeah
integrations are live + can be pushed/built!
n
awesome! You the man.
b
no, you are!
