Ask - deploy not working after built successfully

I created a new skill on my local machine by cloning it from on of the available git repository

I used the below command

ask new --url https://github.com/alexa/skill-sample-nodejs-salesforce.git

The project folder was created successfully. After this I tried to deploy this skill using ask cli. The below command was used

ask deploy

Got a warning saying 'Changed the property name from 'skillmanifest' to 'Manifest' in ask/config in order to fit the v1 Alexa Skill Management API's accepted format'

The operation was stuck after this. I terminated the operation using ctrl+C and tried again using

ask deploy --debug

Saw below 2 lines of debug logs after which the operation was stuck forever and there was no deployment

Please need your help

If you're using Windows, try using a different version of node such as v8.11 as there seem to be issues when running with newer versions of node.

Try ask with version 1.4.9 or lower. It helped me.

npm install -g ask-cli@1.4.9

Thank you! This finally did the trick for me... I've been banging my head against a wall for 2 days. I rolled back Node.js to v8.11 and that didn't help; but then I rolled back ask-cli to 1.4.9 as you suggested here and it is finally working.
