Why are node js modules not being installed?

Question

JavaScript

All the best! I'm trying to install modules inside a docker container, everything worked fine before, but now when I try to install/remove any module I get an error:

npm ERR! Object for dependency "ajv" is empty.
npm ERR! Something went wrong. Regenerate the package-lock.json with "npm install".
npm ERR! If using a shrinkwrap, regenerate with "npm shrinkwrap".

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /root/.npm/_logs/2021-07-23T17_44_53_139Z-debug.log

this is what is inside this log
