CLI deploy options do not trigger build step (Vue sample app)

[kbauer-hhog]

Description

Build step is not being run before jss deploy app or jss deploy files CLI commands.

I had to manually build using jss build, and then running jss deploy files.

This was found using the Vue sample app. Unsure if other sample apps are having this issue.

Expected behavior

I expect the build step to be run by default.
Documentation and --help say that option --skipBuild is false by default.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Run jss deploy app or jss deploy files via command line.
2. Build step will not run. It will only attempt to copy the ./dist/ folder to the instance.

Possible Fix

A debug of argv.skipBuild variable in @sitecore-jss/sitecore-jss-cli/dist/scripts/deploy.files.js on the latest CLI version shows "false" as a string. The same debug of this same line in version 11.0.2 shows the value as false as a Boolean.

The conditional around the build step is expecting argv.skipBuild to be a Boolean value. This is why it does not build by default.

Your Environment

• Sitecore Version: 9.3
• JSS Version: 13.0.3
