Expected Behavior

When the examplePhrases or keywords in project.js are changed, the changes should be mirrored in the generated platforms/alexaSkill/skill.json.

Current Behavior

If the number of entries in project.js is reduced, stale entries can be left in the skill.json.
I have found this issue with examplePhrases and keywords, but may affect other information that is in arrays.

Steps to reproduce

• Create new Jovo project
• Add the following to project.js
  alexaSkill: { nlu: 'alexa', manifest: { publishingInformation: { locales: { 'en-US': { summary: "Test Jovo Project 1", examplePhrases: [ "Example 1", "Example 2", "Example 3" ], } } } } },
• run jovo build
• skill.json will be generated with 3 examplePhrases. (Example 1, Example 2, Example 3)
• edit project.js. Change to:
  alexaSkill: { nlu: 'alexa', manifest: { publishingInformation: { locales: { 'en-US': { summary: "Test Jovo Project 1", examplePhrases: [ "Example 4" ], } } } } },
• run jovo build
• skill.json will still contain 3 entries. (Example 4, Example 2, Example 3)

Workaround

Current workaround is to delete platforms/ folder before running jovo build

Error log

No error is generated

Your Environment

• Jovo CLI version used: 2.2.12
• Operating System: Ubuntu 19.04

This is still a bug and we'll work on fixing this. As a workaround, try jovo build --clean. This will automatically delete the platforms/alexaSkill/ folder before building again.
