Can you post a bit more of the source code, at least the rest of the parameters, there isn't much to go on...but it looks like path isn't a string and open() expects it to be.

Same issue here. I can't generate a consistent reproduction case but it sometimes happen in my production application, and it crashes the process. It seems that the files variable here is an empty array. That could happen only if tesseract fails and doesn't output any file.

The problem here is that this cannot be controlled by the application using the module. It can't even be try-catched. There should be a check for truthy-ness when passing files[0] to fs.readFile.
