Is this a yarn version issue? I tried with node@16, node@18 and node@19 in MacOS and things work as you'd expect them to. I'm on yarn v1. Perhaps one of the dependency has a problem with yarn v3. Could you try deleting node_modules and yarn.lock and try installing the dependencies using npm or even pnpm to see if the problem is really with yarn v3?

Tried npm and yarn v1 and both worked. So this is perhaps a yarn version issue as you said. Thanks for help!

[Dinesh Pandiyan]

Probably one (or a few) of the dependencies is not compatible with yarn 2/3 pnp - https://yarnpkg.com/features/pnp

This happens with PNPM too, however simply updating the packages to their latest version fixes this.
