TypeError: path must be a string #26

I use the library with Node 4.1. I get the following error: fs.js:878 binding.stat(pathModule._makeLong(path), req); ^

TypeError: path must be a string at TypeError (native) at Object.fs.stat (fs.js:878:11) at new module.exports (/home/nmp/WorkSpace/NaSp/NodeJS/AppHunt/node_modules/language-detect/language-detect.js:30:6) at Object.

Any ideas why?

Sorry, my mistake

Can you tell us how did you solve? Having the same problem (node 6.1). Both the methods throw the error, also if "new" and require are not used altogether. I tried to remove node_modules and reinstall again every package.

'use strict';
let lngDetector = new (require('language-detect'));
let lngDetector = new (require('./node_modules/language-detect/language-detect.js'));

fs.js:967
  binding.stat(pathModule._makeLong(path), req);
          ^
TypeError: path must be a string or Buffer

My case was that I had messed the path for the require. Did you manage to solve it? If you just copy to code from the ReadMe and place it in a JS file (like test.js) and then install in the same directory languagedetect and run: "node test.js" it works.

var LanguageDetect = require('languagedetect');
var lngDetector = new LanguageDetect();

console.log(lngDetector.detect('This is a test.'));

// Only get the first 2 results
console.log(lngDetector.detect('This is a test.', 2));

yes, my bad... wrong module... "language-detect": "latest" => "languagedetect": "latest"
