error about eb-disable-npm

[wearhere]

How did you reproduce this? Can't tell from the trace

I got this error as well after installing eb-fix-npm or eb-disable-npm.

+ npm install

> [email protected] install <project>/node_modules/eb-disable-npm
> install-files source

path.js:7
    throw new TypeError('Path must be a string. Received ' + inspect(path));
    ^

What's your OS and Node version?

I've seen a lot of comments around these problems with people saying they've moved to docker instead of messing about with ebextensions so that's what I've done too. 💯

Oh interesting. Using AWS ECS? Or Docker on Elastic Beanstalk?

Re: the trace, what's weird is that

at installFiles (<project>/node_modules/install-files/src/index.js:63:19)

Corresponds to a blank line in install-files. Can you do npm ls install-files to see what version of install-files your install of eb-disable-npm is using? Over the course of 1.x we've made some fixes to path lookups—perhaps this would be fixed by forcing eb-disable-npm to upgrade to the latest 1.x.

Docker on Elastic Beanstalk

If I run cd install-files && cat package.json quickly before it crashes it says it has downloaded version 1.1.4 of install-files.
