This looks like the commit that broke the initialization of PodSourceInstaller (missing the podfile param).

https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/commit/3e1bcb76578fb22d8d7010356d93d637c586205f#diff-c4753c6ef7b884f38303f1554a19cd69R39

As a ruby newbie it would probably take some time to fix, test and make a PR. So anyone would like to take it? (looks like a really small change)

@Evomo lots of folks learn Ruby for the first time contributing to open source, myself included 😃
