Getting None__dev as SFDX Alias

[Szandor72]

Describe the bug

When creating a dev scratch Org, I get the alias None__dev.

I can only fix this by running

cci org scratch dev dev 

I don't really get why this fixes the issue. Can somebody help me to understand?

cci org scratch --help

does not offer any explanation.

@davidmreed suggested to open this as issue/bug

When creating feature or qa orgs, I get the expected alias.

Reproduction steps

1. Unsure. Might be related to using a projectname with a '-` in it in cumulusci.yml

Yea, despite having a project:name all of my scratch orgs created via cci org info <org> are being created with an sfdx org alias of None__<org>

After a little bit of testing, it seems to happen if my project name has - in it. mybestproject works just fine (makes org called myprojectdev). my-best-project however, makes an org called Nonedev.

For sfdx, - is perfectly valid so my-best-project__dev should be allowed

When you say project, do you refer to a) Folder Name b) CumulusCI Project name in cumulusci.yml c) sfdx-project.json

?

I tried using no - at all this time and still end up with None__dev

[yippie]

I am referring to the project name in the CumulusCI.yml file

Thank you. I tried that and on my machine, I still end up with None__dev until I run cci org scratch dev dev.

It must be something else then because now my org name creation is working correctly (including the - in project names)
