    check this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55921442/how-to-fix-referenceerror-primordials-is-not-defined-in-node, this is for gulp, but looks similar – 3960278 Feb 21 '20 at 14:20

    When you run `npm update` or `npm install` do you see anything related to a deprecated package? – Julien Feb 21 '20 at 14:46

The cdnify plugin is outdated and not maintained anymore. You can use one of the replacements. I use grunt-google-cdn2

Step 1: add the package

npm install --save grunt-google-cdn2

Step 2: change the grunt-cdnify plugin loader to use the new package in your Gruntfile.js

Your Gruntfile.js might differ, but you need to change the plugin you use from grunt-cdnify to grunt-google-cdn2. 

// Automatically load required Grunt tasks
require('jit-grunt')(grunt, {
    useminPrepare: 'grunt-usemin',
    ngtemplates: 'grunt-angular-templates',
    cdnify: 'grunt-google-cdn2',
    chokidar: 'grunt-chokidar',
    serveStatic: 'serve-static',        
});

Step 3: Remove the old grunt-cdnify plugin from your package.json
