Hey Nick,
Thanks a lot for your detailed explanation, now I'm pretty clear
about the error. But I just get the idea why we could not publish
arbitrary org file as html to current directory, I guess it could be
kind of troublesome that every time to set up the project first?
That process is called "exporting", not "publishing", it needs no
further
setup and is described in the manual.

What do you think?

... and as you can see, the problem is that file-name-as-directory
is called
with a nil argument, whereas it expects a string.

... and this tells us that org-publish-get-base-files got called and
somewhere in the execution of the let* form, it got the error.
So you look at that let* form in org-publish-get-base-files and you
see this:
(let* ((project-plist (cdr project))
(base-dir (file-name-as-directory
(plist-get project-plist :base-directory)))
...
which tells me that you *have* to have a project-plist and it *has*
to have a :base-directory property in order to be able to publish.
You just cannot take an arbitrary org file and publish it without
providing the publishing framework for it.
