Expected Behavior

Executing jovo build when using stages and defaultStage should build for the default stage.

Current Behavior

1. Create new project using jovo new hello-jovo2
2. jovo build

3. Update project.js to include stages:

module.exports = {
    alexaSkill: {
       nlu: 'alexa',
    },
    googleAction: {
       nlu: 'dialogflow',
    },
    defaultStage: 'local',
    stages: {
      local: {
        endpoint: `${JOVO_WEBHOOK_URL}`
      },
      dev: {
        endpoint: ""
      },
      prod: {
        endpoint: ""
      }
    }
};

4. Execute jovo build again:

5. Execute jovo build --stage local:

Error log

The error is: The "C:\dev\voice\shazaml\hello-jovo2\project.js" file is missing or invalid!

Your Environment

• Jovo CLI version used: 2.0.3
• Operating System: Windows 10

Just checked and could reproduce the error. After looking into the cause I found that the issue is in the changes you made to the project.js file. You are using backticks instead of single/double quotes. So your code says it should look for a variable which is called "JOVO_WEBHOOK_URL" and take its value but that variable does not exist. Because of that it then errors as it can not execute the file.

So if you chang the line:

endpoint: `${JOVO_WEBHOOK_URL}`

to:

endpoint: '${JOVO_WEBHOOK_URL}'

it should work fine.

Hope that helps!

To avoid such problems in the future (as I guess that will happen quite a lot) did I just commit some code which adds "JOVO_WEBHOOK_URL" temporary as a global variable when reading the project.js. So with the next version of the CLI it will also work with backticks.

Thanks @janober! And sorry @rmtuckerphx, that one was on me, just noticed (and updated!) that in some tutorials we used backticks for the Jovo Webhook URL. Should be changed everywhere
