Uncaught TypeError: Path must be a string. Received null

See original GitHub issue

[Enter steps to reproduce:]

Honestly, I’m not sure. I’m simply saving a .js file, with format-on-save enabled. This was working like 10 minutes ago but is no longer working. After receiving the error a first time, I was prompted to updated Atom. I updated Atom and am still getting the error.

Atom: 1.14.4 x64 Electron: 1.3.13 OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro Thrown From: prettier-atom package 0.21.0
