Version 2.1.0 gives error "file" argument must be a non-empty string

[dhimmel]

Version 2.1.0 produces the following error (CI logs):

"file" argument must be a non-empty string 

Downgrading to version 2.0.1 fixed the issue.

Our gh-pages command was:

gh-pages \
  --dist build \
  --branch build \
  --user 'CircleCI Deploy Job <[email protected]>' \
  --message 'Deploy npm package on 2019-08-01
Builds https://github.com/hetio/frontend-components/commit/bf3e385fd25f8884e6301321642474b084143c40
Pushed by https://circleci.com/gh/hetio/frontend-components/33
[skip ci]'

The error occurred before a build branch existed and after we initialized an empty orphan build branch in hetio/frontend-components@b65b408.

Possibly related to #308. CC @vincerubinetti.

Also experiencing this issue with 2.1. Reverting back to 2.0.1 resolves the issue.

I have also experienced this issue: "npm deploy is failing with "file" argument must be a non-empty string.
I thought the problem was coming from npm... until i saw this thread.

When can we expect this to be fixed and released?

[azangru]

Doesn’t release 2.1.1 close this issue?

[nytamin]

Yes, can confirm that upgrading to 2.1.1 fixes this

Here are the changes from 2.1.0 to 2.1.1. Would be nice to know what change fixed this issue before closing it. @tschaub mind letting us know and confirming this is fixed?

@dhimmel I am sure it was this PR: #312
