TypeError: Arguments to path.resolve must be strings

gulp task watch-app throws this exception after several successful builds:

I have found other complaints about this but cannot tell whether they're related. I am also not sure which project this should be reported to: vinyl or vinyl-fs or something else on the stack.

In case this helps:

vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~/pah/cpportal$ npm ls vinyl

Can I see the code that triggered this?

[lsiden]

Part of the problem is that the stack trace only prints 10 frames. Do you know how to tell gulp (or node?) that I want it to print the whole stack?

[yocontra]

@lsiden I think theres a module called longjohn for that

[shinnn]

@lsiden Could you show us the option object that you passes to gulp-requirejs plugin?

[yocontra]

As far as I can tell you are passing something bad to gulp.dest and it is failing to join it to the file path. Check your arguments, and I'll keep this open as a reminder that we need a better error message on invalid dest args

[yocontra]

Yep, probably options.base that is bad
