Failed to minify code on npm run build

Question

I have finished my react application that was created with create-react-app , i have no issues running on local with npm start but when i try to build using npm-build

i get an error on minifying the code. I have tried cloning my project and trying to build it, i have tried creating a test project and trying npm build and am having no problems with it, it is only when i try to build my full project.

this is my error

> [email protected] build C:\Users\Jonathan Stroz\Documents\HackerNews-Production-master
> react-scripts build
