For twilio-cli if you're getting

twilio-cli encountered an unexpected error. ... execute the command with the "-l debug" flag etc

and

[DEBUG] identity is required to be specified in options

when passing --identity=Dave

Update the code in accessToken.js -> ~/.twilio-cli/node_modules/@twilio-labs/plugin-token/src/helpers/accessToken.js

from:

const accessToken = new Twilio.jwt.AccessToken(
    this.twilioClient.accountSid,
    this.twilioClient.username,
    this.twilioClient.password,
  );

to:

const accessToken = new Twilio.jwt.AccessToken(
    this.twilioClient.accountSid,
    this.twilioClient.username,
    this.twilioClient.password,
    { identity: this.flags['identity'] }
  );

Better late than never, I just ran in a similar issue and wanted to leave a hint here.

With version 4 of the Node.js client twilio, you now need to supply a identity property in the config.

const token = new AccessToken(
  TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID,
  TWILIO_API_KEY,
  TWILIO_API_SECRET,
  { identity },
);

If this is missing, you get the error you mentioned above. You can fix it by adding the identify or by downgrading the twilio dependency if you can't edit the code.

Have you tried logging the cfg object to see whether it contains all the expected values?

You can do this when you end the config.js file as follows:

console.log(cfg);

// Export configuration object
module.exports = cfg;
