project-name's Issues

TypeError: Path must be a string. Received undefined

The dirname utility function will throw when passed undefined because it calls path.resolve(dir); and path.resolve must be passed a string

You can easily reproduce this by running require('project-name')() without a package.json

Tested in Node 4.2.0
