Azure Congnitive Service Skill not persisting custom skill value - json

Question

I have create a custom skill for my Azure Cognitive Service. After creating the datasouce, index, indexer and running the indexer I can see that my function is being called and it is outputting the correct information, but when I search the index the field that is connected to the custom skill is empty.
This is my indexer definition:
{
"name": "idxdocs",
"description": null,
"dataSourceName": "dsdocs",
"skillsetName": "skillset-procuradores",
"targetIndexName": "customer-documents",
"disabled": null,
"schedule": null,
"parameters": {
"batchSize": null,
"maxFailedItems": -1,
"maxFailedItemsPerBatch": null,
"base64EncodeKeys": null,
"configuration": {
"indexedFileNameExtensions": ".pdf,.docx,.doc",
"dataToExtract": "contentAndMetadata",
"failOnUnprocessableDocument": false,
"failOnUnsupportedContentType": false,
"indexStorageMetadataOnlyForOversizedDocuments": true,
"allowSkillsetToReadFileData": true
}
},
"fieldMappings": [],
"outputFieldMappings": [
{
"sourceFieldName": "/document/content/procuradores",
"targetFieldName": "procuradores"
}
],
"cache": null,
"encryptionKey": null
}
This is my index:
{
"name": "customer-documents",
"fields": [
{
"name": "key",
"type": "Edm.String",
"facetable": true,
"filterable": true,
"key": true,
"retrievable": true,
"searchable": false,
"sortable": true,
"analyzer": null,
"indexAnalyzer": null,
"searchAnalyzer": null,
"synonymMaps": [],
"fields": []
},
{
"name": "content",
"type": "Edm.String",
"facetable": false,
"filterable": false,
"key": false,
"retrievable": true,
"searchable": true,
"sortable": false,
"analyzer": "es.lucene",
"indexAnalyzer": null,
"searchAnalyzer": null,
"synonymMaps": [],
"fields": []
},
{
"name": "procuradores",
"type": "Edm.String",
"facetable": false,
"filterable": true,
"key": false,
"retrievable": true,
"searchable": false,
"sortable": false,
"analyzer": null,
"indexAnalyzer": null,
"searchAnalyzer": null,
"synonymMaps": [],
"fields": []
}
],
"suggesters": [],
"scoringProfiles": [],
"defaultScoringProfile": null,
"corsOptions": null,
"analyzers": [],
"charFilters": [],
"tokenFilters": [],
"tokenizers": [],
"similarity": {
"#odata.type": "#Microsoft.Azure.Search.BM25Similarity",
"k1": null,
"b": null
},
"encryptionKey": null,
"#odata.etag": "\"0x8D98BC85E9F6996\""
}
My skill set definition:
{
"name": "skillset-procuradores",
"description": "",
"skills": [
{
"#odata.type": "#Microsoft.Skills.Custom.WebApiSkill",
"name": "procuradores",
"description": "",
"context": "/document",
"uri": "my url ommited for secure reasons",
"httpMethod": "POST",
"timeout": "PT3M50S",
"batchSize": 1,
"degreeOfParallelism": null,
"inputs": [
{
"name": "text",
"source": "/document/content"
}
],
"outputs": [
{
"name": "procuradores",
"targetName": "procuradores"
}
],
"httpHeaders": {}
}
],
"cognitiveServices": null,
"knowledgeStore": null,
"encryptionKey": null
}
And finally my function output:
{
"values": [
{
"recordId": "1",
"data": {
"procuradores": "people's names"
}
}
]
}
What am I missing?

Answer 1

Rafael, can you give debug sessions a try? I suspect there is something happening in your custom skill that means the data is not coming back. By using this, you can test the actual input and output.

Answer 2

This is just a hunch, but in the indexer definition, try changing your output field mapping sourceFieldName from "/document/content/procuradores" to "/document/procuradores". The context that you are giving in the skill is just "/document" so it should append the output onto that.
