Cannot read eslintrc config file, stripComments is not found

Question

Im struggling with an npm run build (webpack) step. Locally on my machine its building fine. But on the remote build im getting an error when it tries to build the eslint module.

The error is as follows: ERROR in ./app/app.module.js Module build failed: TypeError: Cannot read config file: D:\a\1\s\.eslintrc.json Error: stripComments is not a function

From digging into it. I have a feeling its some dependency that I have installed locally but the remote build doesnt have it. Ive tried clearing the npm cache, deleting my local npm modules. But I cant seem to repro on my local machine.That function seems to come from strip-json-comments lib, I added it as a dependency but still no dice.

Any ideas? Help to get this error solved? Thanks!
