TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received type object

See original GitHub issue

Hi, svg-spritemap-webpack-plugin version 3.3.2 isn’t working for me compared to the older version. I’ve tried without path.resolve and same error as well.

My configurations:

new SVGSpritemapPlugin([
            path.resolve(__dirname, 'public/images/app/icons/app/*.svg'),
            path.resolve(__dirname, 'public/images/app/icons/consumable/*.svg'),
            path.resolve(__dirname, 'public/images/app/icons/dance/*.svg'),
            path.resolve(__dirname, 'public/images/app/icons/emoji/*.svg'),
            path.resolve(__dirname, 'public/images/app/icons/human/*.svg'),
            path.resolve(__dirname, 'public/images/app/icons/pet/*.svg'),
            path.resolve(__dirname, 'public/images/app/icons/store/*.svg'),
            path.resolve(__dirname, 'public/images/app/icons/user/*.svg')
            ], {
        })

Output of npm run compile:

:Psychedelices alizee$ npm run compile
