I have a java application running on my VM that my nextjs app connects to.
While the java app is running and trying to run "npm run build" on my nextjs app I receive the following error: "Error: Jest worker encountered 1 child process exceptions, exceeding retry limit. type: 'WorkerError'

Note: I am able to run npm run build just fine on my local machine with the java app running. Only received the error after cloning the repo to the VM and trying to build there.
Also: If I stop my java server on the VM I am able to run npm run build... but obviously this messes up the builds of the static pages not having access to the backend.

I did also download the latest nodejsLTS. I was using v20.5.6 and moved to 20.18.1(LTS) and this ran fine... I didn't however update the "dependencies":{} in the package.json so maybe this is the cause of the error? (still though it ran fine locally)... Trying to find a list of what all lines need changed in dependcies when updating nodejs besides the node line itself but not having any luck w/ it yet
