Resolution

There could be two situation where we could face this issue.

1. If we are seeing this in local build then we need to delete the package.json and package-lock.json and run the npm install to build the code again.

2. If we are seeing this issue on cloud deployment then we need to match the package.json and package-lock.json file with the local machine file where build was successful. If both file are not identical with cloud file then update the files on cloud with local files.
