Problem migrating without first deleting build folder

[elie222]

I get the following error when running truffle migrate (also with --reset option).

Running migration: 1_initial_migration.js
fs.js:126
    throw err;
    ^

Error: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, read
    at Object.fs.readSync (fs.js:614:3)
    at tryReadSync (fs.js:454:20)
    at Object.fs.readFileSync (fs.js:495:19)
    at FS.getContractName (...../.nvm/versions/node/v10.1.0/lib/node_modules/truffle

To solve this I delete the build folder before migrate, but not necessarily the best solution if you have items in your build you'd like to keep (such as old network deploys to different networks).
