This is because you are trying to use optional chaining (?.) with node 12 or lower.

Thats’s not possible.

To use optional chaining you should use node 14 or higher.

Did you ever solve this? I am having the same issue, maybe due to the build working with a different version. If I don’t use --ignore-engines, I get and error complaining that packages can only find 12.20.1 which is not the live version of node available. So I think they are linked.
