npm install failed after upgrading nodejs (and so npm) version #1191
Description
I was using nodejs v18.19.0.
And I decide to upgrade it to : v20.19.5.
Then I run my mvn build : mvn clean install
And it failed with :

After searching a while for this error I see that removing the directory node_modules from node directory solve tshe issue.
But that sounds strange to me that I need to do that manually... 🤔
Did I do something wrong ?
OR
Is there something to improve in frontend-maven-plugin ?
