I faced the same issue and just by running the commands with the silent flag on, seems to be solving the problem. In my case I was getting the same error when i was running npm install. Running:
npm install --silent
worked. Form the flag explanation on npmjs docs --silent seems just to be hiding the messages from the terminal, but without the silent flag up, I was not able to see my node_modules installed. Now the application seems to be working fine.
