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

bartdelange commented 5 years ago

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 commented 5 years ago

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 commented 5 years ago

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 commented 5 years ago

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

bartdelange commented 5 years ago

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

Yes, this was fixed in https://github.com/sindresorhus/globby/pull/99. Reinstalling postcss-cli should fix it.

mattfelten commented 5 years ago

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

targos commented 5 years ago

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

@targos PR welcome
