Every command I run results in Error: Arguments to path.resolve must be strings

[duro]

I have tired installing locally and using npm run as well as globally, and even running pm2 list results in this error.

path.js:313
        throw new TypeError('Arguments to path.resolve must be strings');
              ^

I am running node version v0.10.35 and npm 2.1.18

At a loss for why this might be occurring. Any thoughts on how I could debug.

Looks like my problem was that my HOME env var was not set (as I was running this inside a pretty lean Docker container).

That being said, perhaps a more meaningful Error message could be output for this case.
