Error: "file" argument must be a non-empty string

[MrRobWad]

This just starting popping up last week for me. I have tried all sorts of node, npm, and cordova combinations and done a clean wipe of the environment with each iteration. I have settled back on my last known good configuration.

• osx 10.13.2
• node 8.7.0
• npm 5.5.1
• cordova 7.0.1
• taco-team-build 0.2.4
• cordova-ios 4.5.3
• cordova-android 6.4.0

I am not using Visual Studio, rather VS Code. I am leveraging the taco team build in my gulp tasks and the cordova-plugin-vs-taco-support gets installed along with that plugin.

The steps required to trigger the error are generally:

1. Setup project (npm install, cordova prepare, etc)
2. Run a build that leverages taco-team-build configure() (set to cordova 7.0.1) and buildProject()
3. Successful result
4. Run same build again, but this time cordova-plugin-vs-taco-support is present from being auto-installed on the last run
5. Build fails with the error below

$ cordova prepare
Executing script found in plugin cordova-plugin-vs-taco-support for hook "before_prepare": plugins/cordova-plugin-vs-taco-support/hooks/hook-execute-bit-fix.js
Resolving module name for q => q
Error: "file" argument must be a non-empty string

If I $ cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-vs-taco-support before attempting another cordova build I can get a successful build, but the scenario repeats and this error pops back up on any subsequent builds.
