CLI not compatible

[iam-steve]

After cloning the current version of the template and following the install steps... when we try and run the local instance of the plugin (twilio flex:plugins:start), we're getting the error "The plugin plugin-flex-ts-template version (v5) is not compatible with this CLI command."

Any one have insights as to what might be wrong?

which plugin are you using, flex v1 or flex v2?

flex v2's package.json recently updated

devDependencies
"twilio-cli": "3.4.2", -> "twilio-cli":"4.2.0"

there might be some incompatibility with whats installed globally to whats installed locally

what versions of the cli are you seeing when you execute twilio version

hi steve, np!

it looks like there's maybe some issues going on with package versions installed local, i just ran into a similar thing when reviewing the latest PR which updates flex plugin scripts to v6.0.2 except it was"The plugin plugin-flex-ts-template version (v6) is not compatible with this CLI command."

to get you going id recommend doing the following

• take a clean checkout of the repository (a new feature was just applied with some package dependency updates as mentioned above)
• update your twilio cli confirming that you are on v5.2.0 with twilio version
• update your twilio flex plugins script to 6.2.0 - you can confirm which version you are running if you run twilio plugins. There are multiple ways to update this and it depends how you installed it in the first place. I tried...
  • twilio plugins:update but it didnt actually update it
  • twilio flex:plugins:upgrade-plugin --install - this did not work either
  • twilio plugins:install @twilio-labs/[email protected] - this worked for me and twilio plugins finally reported the correct version

let me know if this helped

Will give this a try over the weekend and let you know how it goes. Thanks again!

So, it looks like I was able to update the twilio CLI and confirmed with "twilio version" twilio-cli/5.2.0 darwin-x64 node-v14.15.1 -- however, I am now getting errors when I try and update the plugin to 6.0.2 it is saying The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">=14.16". Got "14.15.1" error Found incompatible module.

• hmmm, okay, so I updated the node version and was able to successfully install [email protected]...
• The problem now is when I run twilio flex:plugins:start I get the following error » twilio-cli encountered an unexpected error. To report this issue, execute the command with the "-l debug" flag, then copy the output to a new issue here: "https://github.com/twilio/flex-plugin-builder/issues"

whoops -- my mistake with the above reply -- forgot to npm install again. :)

Think I'm making progress now.
