Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:-

1.Clear Node.js Cache:-

Sometimes, caching issues can cause discrepancies. Try clearing the Node.js cache with the following commands:-

> npm cache clean -f

2. Reinstall Dependencies:-

If you've made changes to the Node.js version or other configurations, consider reinstalling the project dependencies:

> rm -rf node_modules npm install

Also, Crosscheck Your Nodejs environment.
