[BUG] "Unexpected argument: --bypass-validation" in the latest version

[marek-siemieniuk-morawski]

Description

We have noticed yesterday that the deployment pipelines stopped working due to:

twilio flex:plugins:deploy --version "$PLUGIN_VERSION" --changelog "$PLUGIN_CHANGELOG" --bypass-validation
 ›   Error: Unexpected argument: --bypass-validation
 ›   See more help with --help

even though we haven't made any changes in the pipelines recently. In the Bitbucket Pipelines logs we can see that the version installed by twilio plugins:install **@twilio-labs/plugin-flex is

Installing plugin @twilio-labs/plugin-flex... installed v6.4.2

I'm attaching the logs and the bitbucket-pipeline.yml:

It didn't help to install the 7.0.1 version explicitly

steps:
  - step: &install-twilio-flex-cli-plugin
      name: Install Twilio Flex CLI plugin
      script:
        - twilio plugins:install @twilio-labs/plugin-flex@7.0.1
      caches:
        - twilio-cli
  - step: &install-dependencies
      name: Install dependencies
      script:
        - npm ci
      caches:
        - twilio-cli
        - npm

The logs say that the v7.0.1 was installed

Installing plugin @twilio-labs/plugin-flex... installed v7.0.1

it's still failing due to the same error

Hi @marek-siemieniuk-morawski, It seems the environment has been corrupted. This flag is available in version 7, so it appears the installation of version 7 didn’t complete successfully. Could you please follow these steps in sequence to clean up the environment:

1. Remove package-lock.json and node_modules
2. Uninstall twilio-cli (via both npm and brew)
3. Reinstall twilio-cli
4. Install plugin-cli

Hey @sanjeet-tw , thanks for the response.

Don't know what changed, but the issue has gone itself. I didn't make any changes in the pipelines or package.json, and when I tried a day before yesterday, the build succeed.

We can close the issue
