I can’t seem to release a block that’s based on the unmodified Url Preview example block code.

I literally just ran:

block init [id] --template=https://github.com/Airtable/blocks-url-preview google_drive_preview

“block run” works fine.

But when I try to run “block release” here’s what I get:

scotty:google_drive_preview scotty$ block release

    @Scotty_Allen - thanks for writing in.

    A couple questions to help us debug:

    • Did you make any modifications to your blocks code between block run and block release?
    • Did you run into the error with the vanilla template (before making any modifications)?
    • Which blocks CLI version you’re using? (i.e. executing block --version from terminal)

    Thank you!

    I’ve been trying to reproduce this bug, but without luck. @Scotty_Allen is it still an issue for you? In addition to @Richard_Sinn’s questions, I’m curious about the version of the Block CLI and Node.js, as in:

    block --version
node --version

    I had the same issue. The problem seemed to be with the version of npm I was using. After upgrading from 6.4.1 to 6.13.4, I was able to successfully release the block.
