npm run build error for Django


I followed the steps highlighted in the docs, but am receiving an error as shown below:
C:\django_demo1\starterkit\_keenthemes\tools>npm run build

> keenthemes@1.0.0 build
> webpack

[webpack-cli] Failed to load 'C:\django_demo1\starterkit\_keenthemes\tools\webpack.config.js' config
[webpack-cli] ReferenceError: require is not defined in ES module scope, you can use import instead
This file is being treated as an ES module because it has a '.js' file extension and 'C:\django_demo1\starterkit\_keenthemes\tools\package.json' contains "type": "module". To treat it as a CommonJS script, rename it to use the '.cjs' file extension.

Hi Lexim,

In the file django_demo1\starterkit\_keenthemes\tools\package.json, please check if you have removed the line "type": "module". If you have removed it, please try running the command npm run build again and see if the issue persists.

Thanks

I removed this "type": "module" but still getting error Please identify the source of the issue

(venv) PS C:\Users\DELL\Downloads\STARTkit\_keenthemes\tools> npm run build

> keenthemes@8.2.1 build
> webpack

[webpack-cli] Invalid configuration object. Webpack has been initialized using a configuration object that does not match the API schema.
- configuration[0].entry['js/widgets.bundle'] should be a non-empty array.
-> All modules are loaded upon startup. The last one is exported.
