Use jovo-cli for building info and model outside source folder

Expected Behavior

I've this folder tree:

- root
    - models/
        - it-IT.json
    - src/
        - skill/
             - app.js
             - index.js
             - config.js
             - package.json
             - src/......
    - project.js

I expect that when I run jovo build -t model (or -t info) inside the root folder, it just builds things up without having to be inside the skill folder (in this case src/skill).

I tried adding -s .\src\skill, but it has no effect.

Current Behavior

jovo build -t model throws the following error, because this function returns false:

jovo-cli/jovo-cli-core/src/Project.ts

Line 577 in 0241f7c

async isInProjectDirectory(): Promise<boolean> {

Error log

To use this command, please go into the directory of a valid Jovo project.

Your Environment

• Jovo CLI version used: 3.2.1
• Operating System: Windows 10

Do you mind me asking why you moved your package.json inside src/skill/? My folder structure looks like this:

- root
  - models/
  - src/
    - skill/
      - app.js
      - config.js
      - index.js
  - project.js
  - package.json

and everything works fine...

Oh, the only thing that I haven't tried was moving package.json back to the root folder lol

Do you mind me asking why you moved your package.json inside src/skill/?

I moved it because I've different lambda functions inside src/ and each of them has its own package.json. Also I hadn't thought that jovo-cli needed the package.json in order to run all commands. For building model and info, the only needed elements are project.js and the models folder, aren't them?
