error is printed: "wrong type argument: stringp treemacs"

When run with debug-on-error, the trace looks like this:

I have (package-initialize) in my init file so running without emacs -Q 
or -q just prints "wrong type arguement: stringp treemacs" to the 
console and exits. Running with --debug-init does not produce any other 
output.
