Describe the bug

Locally we are able to build and push our enviornment changes. But the CI/CD pipeline is resulting in the following error:

Our deployment pipelines are now blocked because of this.

We tried reverting the latest changes and building with other versions, but still no luck

I was able to checkout the environment that was failing and build/deploy locally just fine so it seems like there is some sort of issue on the CI/CD Amplify hosting.

Expected behavior

Build and deploy without error

Reproduction steps

Deploy on Amplify CI/CD web service.
