Build fails with warning The "path" argument must be of type string. Received null

[gaborbernat]

I don't have reproducible for this as the project is private. However i'm using react-scripts 5.0.1 with typescript 4.8.4.

Describe the bug

Build fails with:

❯ env CI=true npm run build

> packages.dev.bloomberg.com@1.0.0 build
> react-scripts build

Creating an optimized production build...

Treating warnings as errors because process.env.CI = true.
Most CI servers set it automatically.

Failed to compile.

The "path" argument must be of type string. Received null

There's no mention of what path and where though 🤔

If there is any file in build/static/js, the build fails.

rm -rf build || true
yarn build # it works

rm -rf build || true
mkdir -p build/static/js/ && touch build/static/js/main.a116ca1c.js
yarn build # fails with 'The "path" argument must be of type string. Received an instance of Buffer'

I got this error message:

Failed to compile.

p.replace is not a function

Manually delete 'build' folder then rebuild works.
Maybe cra should use webpack 5 output.clean feature to clean the build folder.
