Angular NodeJs App Running Fine Locally But Throwing Error On Heroku Deployment

Question

I have an application deployed on heroku. When I run the application locally, it runs fine but in dev deployment branch I get the error below. I did some research on similar errors reported but nothing helped. The error is so vague that I have had no progress after doing alot of research and spending so much time on it. Any help would be appreciated. let me know if you need code and i will post it.

The error on heroku is:

Answer 1

The issue seemed to be in the dependencies. For anyone running into this issue, run ng update and npm audit fix --force . That will update dependencies which fixed the issue for me.
