Hi everyone,

i’m having tons of troubles with this kind of error:

16:16:28      [exec] `au build` is an alias of the `npm run build:dev`, you may use either of those; see README for more details.
16:16:28      [exec] {
16:16:28      [exec]   uid: 0,
16:16:28      [exec]   name: '_default',
16:16:28      [exec]   branch: false,
16:16:28      [exec]   error: TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "file" argument must be of type string. Received type object

16:16:28      [exec]       at normalizeSpawnArguments (child_process.js:398:3)

Conditions are:

This error is only on Jenkins automatic build, no problem in local environment, no problem even trying to build by line command, the only situation where i’ve this problem is when jenkins call the ant-script who call “${cli} build --env prod”

this is my aurelia.json

  "name": "hhweb",
  "type": "project:application",
  "paths": {
    "root": "src",

Looks like from npm package async-done. But from the code of current async-done v1.3.2, I got no idea why it complains on that line.

If you can get into the jenkins box, you can check the version of the async-done package in its package.json (or npm ls async-done in the project folder).

From the log, I can see jenkins is running nodejs v12.13.0, I tried that nodejs version, build seems fine.
