Vaadin 14 build frontend fails due webpack error

Question

I am developing a Vaadin Webapp and did not change anything like maven or Java version. Can somebody help me here? Previously it was working like a charm. When i want to build the App via maven i get this error on the task mvn vaadin:build-frontend:

Answer 1

The reason for this issue was that i tried the newer versions of Vaadin. Then i found out that vaadin creates a hidden folder in the user folder, where it downloads the node stuff. There have been never Node versions. I deleted the contents of the folder, because this issue does not show up in Node versions 16 and below.
