Hello World Example Fails to Build with NodeJS 12.x Runtime

[AJStacy]

Description

After initializing a new project with the SAM cli for Hello World using Nodejs12.x the project fails to build because it cannot find the template file. I believe the issue is because the template file is name .yaml but the build command is looking for a .yml.

Steps to reproduce

1. sam init
2. Select choice Bundling a new version of GoFormation. #1 - AWS Quick Start Templates
3. Select runtime Bundling a new version of GoFormation. #1 - nodejs12.x
4. Project name: sam-app
5. Template selection Bundling a new version of GoFormation. #1 - Hello World Example
6. sam build

Observed result

Telemetry endpoint configured to be https://aws-serverless-tools-telemetry.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/metrics
'build' command is called

Expected result

Expected the template to build a hello world app for deployment.

We check for both yaml and yml. Can you try to cd into the new init template you downloaded and then build again?
