I’m having the same issue.
npm runs the develop server correctly but I get the same infinite loading screen with that same error message, no errors in the console.

found this and it worked for me: Impossible to show admin page after local install · Issue #12010 · strapi/strapi · GitHub

run

npm run build

then

npm run develop
