TypeError: "file" argument must be a non-empty string

[stemkar123]

I am using Protractor for automation. Actually I need to rerun the failed test cases so I used protractor-retry. But while execution I am getting "TypeError: "file" argument must be a non-empty string" error & failed cases are not re-executed.

below is my conf & spec file:

Sample.conf:
var retry = require('protractor-retry').retry;

exports.config = {
specs: ['sampleCase.js'],
onCleanUp: function (results) {
retry.onCleanUp(results);
},

onPrepare: function () {
retry.onPrepare();
},

afterLaunch: function() {
    return retry.afterLaunch(3);
}	

};

Sample.spec
describe('Enter GURU99 Name', function() {
it('should add a Name as GURU99', function() {
browser.get('https://angularjs.org');
element(by.model('yourName')).sendKeys('GURU99');
var guru= element(by.xpath('html/body/div[2]/div[1]/div[2]/div[2]/div/h1'));
expect(guru.getText()).toEqual('Hello GURU99111!');
});
});

Error logs

I am having the same issue on Mac?
Error comes when trying to re-run the failed spec.
