Not just Windows! On macOS, the first time I tried it (on a spec that
shouldn't have had a body) I got

   gnat stub -P/Users/simon/tmp/so/rules.gpr /Users/simon/tmp/so/rules.ads /Users/simon/tmp/so/

but no .adb.

The second time, I got the same output as you describe (modulo Windows
vs Unix).

The third time, after I added a subprogram (so a body was valid), it
worked.

The fourth time, after I removed the subprogram, back we are with your
error!

Traceback (most recent call last):

    r = callback()

    command += x_args + [file.path, file.directory()]
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'path'

If I run the command that GPS says it's executing by hand, I get

$ gnat stub -P/Users/simon/tmp/so/rules.gpr /Users/simon/tmp/so/rules.ads /Users/simon/tmp/so/
gnatstub: tree file rules.adt already exists use -r or -t to reuse or to overwrite it

so I use -t and get

$ gnat stub -t -P/Users/simon/tmp/so/rules.gpr /Users/simon/tmp/so/rules.ads /Users/simon/tmp/so/
gnatstub: Compilation unit Rules does not require a body

(and rules.adt has been deleted, so I don't need to use -t next time).
