Prisma generate : The "path" argument must be of type string

See original GitHub issue

Bug description

I am running same versions of prisma and prisma/client which is ~2.20.1, when executing yarn prisma:generate it thows the following exception

Error:
✔ Generated Prisma Client (2.20.1) to ./node_modules/@prisma/client in 125ms

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer or URL. Received an instance of Object

Expected behavior

Prisma generate should run without any errors.
