Ask CLI clone results in token does not exist

When executing the clone command on my mac, with "node --version" of v8.9.1, I'm running into the following exception:

ask clone --skill-id < my alexa skill>

The property "token" does not exist.
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ask-cli/node_modules/simple-oauth2/lib/client/access-token.js:19
      if ('expires_at' in this.token) {
                      ^
TypeError: Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'expires_at' in undefined

    at Command.handle (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ask-cli/lib/clone/clone.js:42:17)<br>

I've tried running the command with quotes around the skill id and without quotes.

I have created an IAM user and ~/.aws/credentials file following the tutorial: https://developer.amazon.com/docs/smapi/set-up-credentials-for-an-amazon-web-services-account.html. I even removed the ARN resource restrictions from the suggested IAM policy since there were no warnings, but I'm still stuck....

I'm running into the same issue. Were you able to get you skill status (ask api get-skill-status -s skilid) or is it jus the clone command thats causing this error ?

Here's the error I get:

	The property "token" does not exist.

I came across the same issue, had to downgrade simple-oauth2 to 1.5.0

https://forums.developer.amazon.com/idea/117695/ask-cli-broken-by-simple-oauth2-dependency-update.html

Temp fix:

change version in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ask-cli/package.json from '^1.0.2' to '1.5.0'

then from the terminal in the directory run

npm update

Thanks for the answer ssz. I'm currently focusing on getting my local development environment setup first. I hope the issue gets solved soon so I don't have to self manage dependencies.
