Methods
ambiguousNounPhrase (actor, originalText, matchList, fullMatchList)
we found an ambiguous noun phrase, but we were unable to perform interactive disambiguation
askDisambig (actor, originalText, matchList, fullMatchList, requiredNum, askingAgain, dist)
Ask the canonical disambiguation question: “Which x do you mean…?”. ‘matchList’ is the list of ambiguous objects with any redundant equivalents removed, and ‘fullMatchList’ is the full list, including redundant equivalents that were removed from ‘matchList’.
To prevent interactive disambiguation, do this:
throw new ParseFailureException(&ambiguousNounPhrase,
originalText, matchList, fullMatchList);
askMissingObject (actor, action, which)
Missing object query and error message templates
askUnknownWord (actor, txt)
tell the user they entered a word we don’t know
disambigOrdinalOutOfRange (actor, ordinalWord, originalText)
The answer to a disambiguation question specifies an invalid ordinal (“the fourth one” when only three choices were offered).
‘ordinalWord’ is the ordinal word entered (‘fourth’ or the like). ‘originalText’ is the text of the noun phrase that caused the disambiguation question to be asked in the first place.
insufficientQuantity (actor, txt, matchList, requiredNum)
insufficient quantity to meet a command request (‘take five books’)
missingLiteral (actor, action, which)
no description available
missingObject (actor, action, which)
no description available
noMatchCannotSee (actor, txt)
no match for a noun phrase
noMatchDisambig (actor, origPhrase, disambigResponse)
no match for the response to a disambiguation question
noMatchForAll (actor)
no match for ‘all’
noMatchForAllBut (actor)
nothing left for ‘all’ after removing ‘except’ items
noMatchNotAware (actor, txt)
no description available
singleObjectRequired (actor, txt)
a single noun phrase is required, but a noun list was used
uniqueObjectRequired (actor, txt, matchList)
a unique object is required, but multiple objects were specified
wordIsUnknown (actor, txt)
tell the user they entered a word we don’t know
zeroQuantity (actor, txt)
‘take zero books’
