gitbook init Error: TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "data" argument must be

Question

node: v14.0.0

CLI version: 2.3.2

GitBook version: 3.2.3

Windows10

When execute gitbook init in an empty folder, it pops up:

$ gitbook init
warn: no summary file in this book
info: create SUMMARY.md

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "data" argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer, TypedArray, or DataView. Received an instance of Promise

And there is no "SUMMARY.md" created... How could it be fixed？Thanks！

Answer 1

I have the same problem just as you. Switch back from latest node version to 12.18.1 LTS.

And everything gonna be ok.
