@siddharthaweb try running:

npm install ask-cli -g --unsafe

it seems like it is an issue in one of our dependency's dependency. ask-smapi-sdk -> jsonpath https://github.com/dchester/jsonpath/issues/122

@kakhaUrigashvili Nice workaround! BTW, the character before unsafe needs to be replaced with a real dash -.

Are you aware of any adverse side effect?

there are some good discussions online about --unsafe / --unsafe-perm.

I dont think there is another option until either jsonpath fixes the issue or we remove jsonpath from the dependencies.

run 
- sudo npm install ask-cli -g --unsafe

output - npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142
/usr/bin/ask -> /usr/lib/node_modules/ask-cli/bin/ask.js
+ ask-cli@2.0.1
updated 1 package in 14.675s

then run

ask configure --no-browser and enter the Authorization Code. with default user step two setup Do you want to link your AWS account in order to host your Alexa skills? No , as we have our own server setup with jovo after this run
jovo build
jovo deploy --platform alexaSkill

here we get the final output where we stuck till now

❯ Deploying Alexa Skill ✖ Updating Alexa Skill project for ASK profile default → Unexpected token C in JSON at position 0 Deploying Interaction Model, waiting for build › Error: There was a problem: › SyntaxError: Unexpected token C in JSON at position 0

Why is this closed? Clearly it's going to be an issue for everyone until fixed?

kakhaUrigashvili commented 4 years ago

@talkingnews I closed it because the original issue opened was related to "npm install -g" command and not to "ask configure --no-browser" . There is no other solution except of "npm install ask-cli -g --unsafe" at this point for the original issue.

@siddharthaweb I am assuming the project was originally created with v1. Please review this doc with instructions how to upgrade to v2 https://github.com/alexa/ask-cli/blob/develop/docs/Upgrade-Project-From-V1.md

After the upgrade you should be able to run:

ask deploy

@kakhaUrigashvili - thank you for the suggestion. we are using updated jovo with ASK-CLI version 1.7.1 and deploy successfully
