It appears the problem is in ether-pudding’s
PuddingLoader. The call toModule._compileshould be given a path to the module file.I had the same with node v6.1.0 using truffle deploy So I tried to compile again and truffle compile gave me this error too but ti worked on the first time. So I deleted my project and launched truffle init again and immediately launcher truffle deploy and it works fine. It seems that something is broken by the compile process… then any truffle command is broken.
