‘TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The “path” argument must be of type string. Received type undefined’

To fix this issue simply upgrade react-scripts package (check latest version with npm info react-scripts version):

  1. Replace in your package.json "react-scripts": "^3.x.x" with "react-scripts": "^3.4.1" (or the latest available version)
  2. (optional for some) Delete your node_modules folder
  3. Run npm install or yarn install

Some people reported that this issue was caused by running npm audit fix (avoid it!).
