TypeError: Expected cwd to be of type string but received type undefined

[bartdelange]

When executing any cli command it fails and gives the error below, this however does work if I use yarn. (has also been referenced here: #264)

Example command (the style.css is just an empty file):

"start": "postcss --use autoprefixer -o ./style.css ./style.css"

Stacktrace:

I have the exact same error.

NPM Version: 6.4.1
Node Version: 10.15.0

Have you tried a fresh installation?

[bartdelange]

I have, weirdly enough just running the example in postcss/autoprefixer works as well, so it must be a version issue, but npm ls lists the same versions

npm install postcss-cli autoprefixer
npx postcss *.css --use autoprefixer -d build/

[RyanZim]

Yeah, there was a sub-dependency way down in the dependency tree that had a bug and broke semver. Your postcss-cli versions will be the same; that's expected, but what's important is that the sub-dependency is updated.

[bartdelange]

So manually forcing the sub dep version should fix it (and which)?

[bartdelange]

It does indeed, after manually installing the globby version (and then doing a fresh install leaving globby out of the package.json) it runs. I think is seems to be a cache issue or something even though the cache should be self healing

[kevva]

Yes, this was fixed in sindresorhus/globby#99. Reinstalling postcss-cli should fix it.

[mattfelten]

npm update globby --depth 5 fixed it for me. NPM was keeping the version locked to a lower version because deduping or something.

[targos]

The best would be to update globby to version ^9.0.0 in this package.

@targos PR welcome
