How to fix this error?

Thanks to Softwarehorizont, I found the solution:

Try to delete all node modules and reinstall them. A command sequence like this would do:

npm cache clean
rm -Rf node_modules/
npm install

Still got this error?

If you still got this error, you can look up the following references (I have not tested these, at your own risk, like all solutions posted on this blog):
