One of my test users just got switched to the "new channel experience" of teams. I tried my app and the task module that normally opens from a message extension is no longer opened by teams. Instead...

jocsch - Could you please share a recording of the issue that you are facing? Could you also share in which ring you are facing the issue?

 

We checked opening Praise/Polly app in internal rings which have new channel experience. Task modules are opening properly.

    I have reproduced it with the praise app. See the attached video.
    First I switch to the calendar to demonstrate that the UI is responsiv.
    Then I try to use the praise app, nothing happens.
    I try again to switch to the calendar. Nothing happens UI is partially frozen. Reload is necessary.

    What is a ring?

      Thank you for the recording, we have switched on the developer preview and are able to reproduce the issue. We will check this internally and get back to you. Thanks!

        Meghana-MSFT Thanks for fixing this promptly.
        However I stumbled across the next bug with task modules that open a web page. 
        They are broken in the new experience as well. 

        Sample code that is used in the video as a response to the ActionSubmit with a task/fetch:

        {
  "task": {
    "type": "continue",
    "value": {
      "title": "Render webpage",
      "height": 415,
      "width": 380,
      "url": "https://local.example.com/testDialog",
      "fallbackUrl": "https://local.example.com/testDialog"
    }
  }
}

        I added a video which shows the working version in the old experience and one video showing the broken version in the new experience. Please notice that not only the content is not loaded but also the icon of the app is not properly rendered.
