Good day. I'm tring to start greenlock code:

"use strict";
var pkg = require('./package.json');
var Greenlock = require('greenlock');
var greenlock = Greenlock.create({
    configDir: './greenlock.d/config.json',
    packageAgent: pkg.name + '/' + pkg.version,
    maintainerEmail: pkg.author,
    staging: true,
    notify: function(event, details) {
        if ('error' === event) {
            console.error(details);
        }
    }
});

but recive an error:

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

}

How can I avoid this error?

var greenlock = Greenlock.create({
    configDir: './greenlock.d',
    packageAgent: pkg.name + '/' + pkg.version,
    maintainerEmail: pkg.author,
    staging: true,
    packageRoot: __dirname,
    notify: function(event, details) {
        if ('error' === event) {
            // `details` is an error object in this case
            console.error(details);
        }
    }
});

this will fix your issue

```js var greenlock = Greenlock.create({ configDir: './greenlock.d', packageAgent: pkg.name + '/' + pkg.version, maintainerEmail: pkg.author, staging: true, packageRoot: __dirname, notify: function(event, details) { if ('error' === event) { // `details` is an error object in this case console.error(details); } } }); ``` this will fix your issue

Yes, the important change is that configDir should be a directory, not a file:

    // this will NOT work
    configDir: './greenlock.d/config.json',

    // this is correct
    configDir: './greenlock.d',

Yes, the important change is that `configDir` should be a directory, not a file: ``` // this will NOT work configDir: './greenlock.d/config.json', ``` ``` // this is correct configDir: './greenlock.d', ```

Thanks I it still works with configDir being configDir: './greenlock.d/config.json' it considers /config.json as folder path. it was missing packageRoot: __dirname,
