CodePudding user response：

When this kind of unexpected errors arise without any logic reason at all, it's recommended to follow these steps:

1. Check if you got npm's latest version installed and if you don't upgrade it.

2. Delete your node_modules folder.

3. Reinstall all the packages using npm install.
