Is there a way to resolve a GitHub octokit.js library issue while trying to build the react app?

So I am using React for an application that makes calls to GitHub RESTapi using their octokit sdk.When I run the application using npm start, the application runs perfectly. Only when I use the command npm run build, I get an error related to octokit library.

C:\Users\Vaibhav\Desktop\devops-d2r> npm run build

> devops-d2r@0.1.0 build
> react-scripts build

Creating an optimized production build...

Failed to compile.

TypeError: C:\Users\Vaibhav\Desktop\devops-d2r\node_modules\@octokit\core\dist-web\index.js: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'body')

This is my package.json file

and when i navigate to the directory path of the error and search for the 'body' variable, I do not find any...

The build folder gets created, except for the index.html

What really is the issue and how can I resolve this?

I solved this problem by migrating to vite, instead of using create-react-app. CRA is deprecated, hence it is safer to use vite. Do let me know if there is any other reason that could be causing this error!!
