Describe the bug

TeamsActivityHandler, when an activity is received, calls each handler added by onEvent(handler) twice

To Reproduce

1. Self explanatory, add an event, call it

Expected behavior

Event handlers should be called once

The best way to test this issue is to use the PR #4203 and remove the code change:

The test included in that PR will fail without the change included in that PR

Hey @alexrecuenco,

I'm able to reproduce. I ran the /teamsActivityHandler.test.js / unit test in current main branch and the onEvent method is being called twice.

botbuilder-js/libraries/botbuilder/tests/teamsActivityHandler.test.js

Line 2311 in dcf434d

it('should not call middleware handler twice', async function () {

I'm not sure if this is by design or a bug within the JS SDK.
I will discuss this with the SDK engineering team today.

Update:

I attempted to repro on the .NET SDK, and it looks like the OnEventActivityAsync method for TeamsActivityHandler is called once.

Here are the steps I took:

1. Cloned and built the botbuilder-dotnet repo on my local machine environment

2. Navigate to /TeamsActivityHandlerTests.cs / test file

3. In TestActivityHandler class, I created getter and setter property set to 0 by default, to count the number of calls for OnEventActivityAsyn

      private class TestActivityHandler : TeamsActivityHandler
      {
   +      public int NumberOfOnEventCalls { get; set; } = 0;
   
          public List<string> Record { get; } = new List<string>();
   

4. Then, in OnEventActivityAsync method, I increment the NumberOfOnEventCalls property by one if it gets called.

          protected override Task OnEventActivityAsync(ITurnContext<IEventActivity> turnContext, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
          {
              Record.Add(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name);
   +          NumberOfOnEventCalls++;
              return base.OnEventActivityAsync(turnContext, cancellationToken);
          }

5. Ran the TestOnEventActivity() test case, and debugged the NumberOfOnEventCalls property. It seems it was only called once.

   

Also, I created a temporary branch of my changes here microsoft/botbuilder-dotnet@1d18e1f

Thank you for your effort verifying the inconsistency. I hope #4203 is a sufficient solution.
