Jekyll 4.0 Build Fails with NoMethodError

After upgrading to Jekyll 4.0, all builds fail with the following error:

/Users/me/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.6.3/gems/jekyll-4.0.0/lib/jekyll/static_file.rb:148:in `cleaned_relative_path': undefined method `length' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

I have updated gems, Jekyll, Bundler, and all the gems used in the project. The only plugin I am using is jekyll-minimagick but removing this plugin does not fix the problem. Here is the full build trace

dauntless:my-site me$ bundle exec jekyll build --trace

I ran into this too.

Add this branch to your Gemfile:

gem "jekyll-minimagick", github: "benubois/jekyll-minimagick", branch: "patch-1"

It's the only branch I've found that adds the variables that are newly required by Jekyll 4.

jekyll-minimagic hasn't been updated since 2016.

but removing this plugin does not fix the problem

Are you sure that you've removed this plugin completely or there are none else inside the _plugins directory?

Simply removing a plugin from the config file may not be sufficient.
If you have listed the plugin under the :jekyll_plugins group in your Gemfile, that could load the plugin automatically.
