For me running the following command in the terminal resolved the issue:
export NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=8192"

P.S: I am using bash(Ubuntu)

Are you running node 18?

[Rajkumar]

Yes, v18.14.2
but the solution given by @HassamSaeed is working fine, but we need to know why its happening

Faced the same issue today on node 20.11.0, but fortunately it was resolved with @HassamSaeed's solution.
