toString Failed

[joelcloralt]

I started getting this error now.

⠹ Checking for unused packages. --skip-unused if you don't want this.fs.js:339
function readFileAfterRead(err, bytesRead) {
                ^

Error: toString failed
    at Buffer.toString (buffer.js:382:11)
    at FSReqWrap.readFileAfterClose [as oncomplete] (fs.js:378:21)

I tried with --skip-unused but still got the same error

⠋ Checking npm registries for updated packages.fs.js:339
function readFileAfterRead(err, bytesRead) {
                ^

Error: toString failed
    at Buffer.toString (buffer.js:382:11)
    at FSReqWrap.readFileAfterClose [as oncomplete] (fs.js:378:21)

Any ideas how to get around this?

Probably caused by nodejs/node#2767
Had the same problem using node 4.5.0 and had some very large sized files in the project.
Removing the large sized files solved the issue for me.
