botframework-sdk: Publishing simple NodeJs BotConnector example fails

Hi,

I’ve been eagerly attempting to get a very simple bot to work with the bot framework since I saw the keynote. While getting the bots to work locally is fairly straight forward, I can’t seem to get them functioning in the cloud.

I’ve been playing around with the NodeJs framework - and I basically started mimicking the simple botConnector example: https://github.com/Microsoft/BotBuilder/blob/master/Node/examples/hello-BotConnectorBot/app.js

However, it fails with a 500 and no further information.

From what I can gather it throws an error in the processMessage function and hits the catch statement.

(I tried deploying both to azure, google app engine and heroku - all with the same result)

{
    "error": {
        "code": "ServiceError",
        "message": "*Sorry, CvrBot isn't available right now.*",
        "statusCode": 500
    }
}

I’m really excited to get this up and running 😃

ok I have figured out the problem Somehow we had a regression in our switch and it is sending the json Pascal cased instead of camelCased. I will have to push a new connector build so it is probably an hour for me to resolve this.
