Got an error while using the output option in the .cpd.yaml file

I got the following error when I use the output option in the configuration file .cpd.yaml:

fs.js:427
  return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);
                 ^

I have tried to use relative paths:
"jscpd-report.xml"
or:
"./jscpd-report.xml"
and absolute paths like (on Windows):
"C:\Users\myuser\jscpd-report.xml"
and absolute paths without backslash:
"C:/Users/myuser/jscpd-report.xml"

All of them with the same result: TypeError: path must be a string.

Here, you can find the .cpd.yaml file used:

languages:
  - javascript
files:
  - "**/*.js"
exclude:
  - "**/*.min.js"
output:
  - "jscpd-report.xml"

Hello,

Output can be string only, try to use this code in .cpd.yaml

languages:
  - javascript
files:
  - "**/*.js"
exclude:
  - "**/*.min.js"
output: "jscpd-report.xml"

Thanks, it works perfectly!
Sorry for opening an issue for such a silly question. It was due to I wrote a wrong yaml format, not due to jscpd.
