react development server keeps crashing

Question

am trying to build an ecommerce website to practice more on react. I have bunch of frameworks i installed for my react project, but recently, running react in localhost keeps crashing with this error info-

node:internal/buffer:959
    super(bufferOrLength, byteOffset, length);
    ^

below is a description of the error

node:internal/buffer:959
    super(bufferOrLength, byteOffset, length);
    ^

RangeError: Array buffer allocation failed
    at new ArrayBuffer (<anonymous>)
    at new Uint8Array (<anonymous>)

I have uninstalled and re-installed my node.js(based on a proposed solution i saw online), but am still getting the error.

Answer 1

try to npm update to update modules, if failed try to remove webpack and graceful-fs

Answer 2

incase someone runs into this error in the future, just update your node version and manage it with nvm. that helped me
