Facing issue with build script within npm package

Question

We are using Azure DevOps pipeline to build Azure Data Factory (ADF) ARM template. I have followed same process as per below Microsoft Documentation.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/continuous-integration-delivery-improvements

In order to build this we need to install npm package as below.

{
    "scripts":{
        "build":"node node_modules/@microsoft/azure-data-factory-utilities/lib/index"
    },
    "dependencies":{
        "@microsoft/azure-data-factory-utilities":"^0.1.5"
    }
}

This worked fine till last week. But recently we are facing some issues with this package build script. Attached error log details below.

Could someone help me to fix this issue?

This problem can be fixed by updating your Install module.js file.

# Installs Node and the npm packages saved in your package.json file in the build

- task: NodeTool@0
  inputs:
    versionSpec: '14.x'
  displayName: 'Install Node.js'

- task: Npm@1
  inputs:
    command: 'install'
    workingDir: '$(Build.Repository.LocalPath)/<folder-of-the-package.json-file>' #replace with the package.json folder
    verbose: true
  displayName: 'Install npm package'  

you can get these code from your documentation
