TypeError: Cannot read property 'optOut' of null

@sindresorhus still getting this error, it may be something to do with timing I think, but I'm not sure:

Looks to be a problem with configstore and the .yml files perhaps?

I'm wondering if update-notifer is still be maintained (or active) - I've not heard any activity on issues I've raised in recent months.

[sindresorhus]

Yes, just tickets overflow...

This too might have been fixed by upgrading configstore 152396c I've seen this error before on another project.

I'll try to get out a new release soon after some testing.

@sindresorhus cheers.

[niftylettuce]

this occured to me as well when using cluster (by accident I had on production mode and ran it to discover this err).

[sindresorhus]

fixed by #34 according to @niftylettuce

available as 0.1.9

[wamoyo]

I still have this issue on 0.3.2. Same as @niftylettuce above. Sometimes it'll say Cannot read property of 'lastUpdateCheck' of null instead.
