Expected Behavior

I cloned a sample skill from GitHub, but when I do askx deploy, I receive the following error:

[Error]: File /Users/itspanw/skill-sample-nodejs-hello-world/ask-resources.json not exists.

I should be able to look through the documentation and find instructions on how to add the ask-resources.json file if it's missing or the CLI should add it to skills that don't have it.

Current Behavior

When I do askx deploy, I get the error and don't know how to address the issue.

CLI Snapshot If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

  1. git clone git@github.com:alexa/skill-sample-nodejs-hello-world.git
  2. cd skill-sample-nodejs-hello-world.git
  3. askx deploy

Possible Solution

Have the CLI add this file if it's missing from a skill project and/or update documentation with explanation on how to resolve this issue.

Your Environment and Context

@panw We added a better error message indicating that the command needs to run from the root directory of the project. for example: [Error]: CliFileNotFoundError: File /Users/kakuri/AlexaSkills/Helloworld/code/ask-resources.json not exists. [Warn]: Please make sure you are in the root directory of the project.
