The "path" argument must be of type string. Received undefined

[simonsmith]

I believe a breaking change was introduced in https://github.com/americanexpress/jest-image-snapshot/pull/298

The diffImageToSnapshot function now accepts what appears to be an optional receivedDir prop but it has no default value so if I update from 5.0.0 to 5.1.0 I now get the above error because undefined is passed to path.join here:

const receivedSnapshotPath = path.join(receivedDir, `${snapshotIdentifier}-received.png`);

For reference, here is how I was calling it before so you can see how receivedDir is undefined

  snapshotResult = diffImageToSnapshot({
    snapshotsDir,
    diffDir,
    receivedImageBuffer,
    snapshotIdentifier,
    failureThreshold,
    failureThresholdType,
    updateSnapshot: updateSnapshots,
    ...options,
  });

I think that change should either be

• a required argument and a 6.0.0 release
• have some sort of check so it can be optional when not passed

For now, staying on 5.0.0 resolves it

Thanks!

Did you resolve this issue? If not, do you want me to work on it?

I just found a workaround, which was to stay on 5.0.0 of this library
