Add support for `-l` flag within twilio serverless:init

[adamchasetaylor]

The error below seems to be caused by something else in Twilio CLI, but it is confusing that the error points towards using "-l" to troubleshoot when "-l" is not implemented for init.

PS /Users/adtaylor/work/twilio-serverless/test_assets/MP3TEST>twilio serverless:init example-client-app --template="voice-client-javascript"
» 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/twilio-cli/issues

Thank you so much for opening your first issue for this project! We'll try to get back to it as quickly as possible. While you are waiting...here's a random picture of a corgi (powered by dog.ceo)

The error that recommends using -l is from the Twilio CLI and is a generic one based on an unhandled error. It might be worth raising something with the CLI itself for errors from plugins that don't necessarily implement the same flags.

It is possibly a good idea to implement the -l flag for create-twilio-function though.

Are you using the latest version of the plugin (should be 1.7.1, check with twilio plugins)? If not, can you update with twilio plugins:update @twilio-labs/plugin-serverless and try again.

If that's not the problem, can you try the same call with create-twilio-function directly?

npm init twilio-function example-client-app --template="voice-client-javascript"

You might at least get a better error message out of that.

Finally, did you come across this error with a new project or account, or was it from an existing account?

Thanks!

Fair points. I'm continuing to troubleshoot the issue with the client. It seems to be due to something else in their Windows installation of Node.

Thanks for the recommendations.

1. Re: Twilio-CLI errors - I'll discuss with CLI folks internally
2. Re: Plugin Version, client is using latest version
3. Re: Trying directly with "create-twilio-function" - great advice - I'll continue down this path with that approach

Closing this request as "-l" would be on create-twilio-function and not within the plugin if I'm understanding your comment correctly.
