gh-pages -d build gives Error "file" argument must be a non-empty string

I included all the steps for deploying my create react app on github. snippet of my package.json

"scripts": {
    "start": "node scripts/start.js",
    "build": "node scripts/build.js",`enter code here`
    "test": "node scripts/test.js",
    "homepage": "http://myName.github.io/create-react-wars",
    "predeploy": "npm run build",
    "deploy": "gh-pages -d build"
},

this is the error i am getting

gh-pages -d build

"file" argument must be a non-empty string
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1

Got the same issue; this answer solved my problem: https://stackoverflow.com/a/57315930/11879312

"Seems like a bug in gh-pages 2.1. I solved mine by downgrading gh-pages to version 2.0: yarn add [email protected] -D or npm install [email protected] --dev."

I think the command is like this.

gatsby -d public -b master

Where public is the folder you want to push and master is the branch you want to push to. Please run your build before this
