REACT.js Failed to compile: unexpected end of JSON input error

When I run 'npm run build' I get the following error:

> my-app@0.1.0 build
> react-scripts build

Creating an optimized production build...
Failed to compile.

Unexpected end of JSON input

However, 'npm start' works and the website works locally. This issue only arises when I run 'npm run build'

I've tried a variety of things to fix this issue, rebuilding after each (and trying all of them and then rebuilding):

• cleared build cache
• cleared npm cache
• deleted and reinstalled node modules, package-lock.json and package.json
• Created a new react app and copied the files over

My package.json passes jsonlint, and I cannot figure out the issue But nothing is working. Here are my files: package.json:
