Botframework-solutions: Skill's manifestTemplate.json is not created

[jbonet07]

Project

Name: Skills
Language: TypeScript

Description

After following the Skill Creation Tutorial, I get to a point where I have to check my Skill manifest but its not in the project.

Your newly created Skill has a basic Skill manifest file provided in the root directory (manifestTemplate.json)

To Reproduce

Follow the Typescript Skill creation tutorial.

Expected behavior

To have the manifestTemplate.json created in the root directory or somewhere in the project.

Screenshots

Additional context

I had no problems either creating the Skill or deploying it.

I'm getting the same error over here. No manifest file present.

Hi @jbonet07 , @aschemel . Thanks for contributing!
We fixed the issue of the missing manifestTemplate file in the #1478. Meanwhile, you can use this manifestTemplate file adding it in the src folder.

Related to the Skill Manifest endpoint we are still working on!

Same problem here, but even after adding the manifestTemplate.json in the src or the root of the Skill and running "npm run start again" I get the same error message.
Am I missing something obvious?
