855418 - 'cfx init FOLDERNAME' seems to use the current directory as the addon's name.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: General, defect, P2)

If I use 'cfx init someaddon', cfx creates a folder in the current directory named 'someaddon', and populates that folder with the template files for a basic Jetpack addon.
But in package.json, it appears to use the current directory for the name and fullName properties, not 'someaddon'.

This can be a problem if the parent directory contains a period, as that is disallowed in package names.

I think it's a valid bug, but with low priority of fixing. I think we can wontfix it only after we officially switch to JPM.

Sorry we won't be releasing any new versions of cfx, jpm is the replacement https://www.npmjs.com/package/jpm
