INVALID_PROCEDURE_ARGUMENT

INVALID_PROCEDURE_ARGUMENT

Error message

Directory path can not be a empty string

What it means

Procedure-argument validation: the invalidate-directory-list-cache procedure was invoked with a non-empty-string check passing but an empty directory path (the Optional held ""), which names no directory.
