_.template on message.js (possibly other places) doesn't work

Issue Summary

We've been scratching our head in figuring out a JSON error from Twilio when trying to send an SMS using twilioClient.messages.create, After a bit of debugging we figured twilio was sending a http error back.

<head><title>400 Bad Request</title></head>

this was caused by URL being https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/<%= accountSid %>/Messages.json, for strange reasons, the accountSid is not not supplanted.

Further looking at the code in node_modules/twilio/lib/rest/api/v2010/account/message.js, we made a few debug logs to see what's going on.

Code Snippet

console.log("message.js ", MessageListInstance._solution); MessageListInstance._uri = _.template( '/Accounts/<%= accountSid %>/Messages.json' // jshint ignore:line )(MessageListInstance._solution); console.log("message.js ", MessageListInstance._uri)

It looks like the _.tempate code doesn't work (This happens in could of our production servers, but not everywhere, which is puzzling given, node, npm and code are exactly the same)

Here is the log line from above, clearly the accountSid variable has proper value.

message.js { accountSid: 'AC036bcblah' } message.js /Accounts/<%= accountSid %>/Messages.json

Steps to Reproduce

This is a pretty straightforward issue when it doesn't work, unfortunately seems to behave differently in different hosts.

Technical details:

twilio-node version: 3.30.1
node version: v10.23.1
npm version: 6.14.10
Host: 4.15.0-72-generic #81-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 26 12:20:02 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Any pointers on how to proceed from here is highly appreciated.

NOTE: Updated twilio npm and issue went away, I can see that templating has been removed.
