I have a Rails app and something recently changed in such a way that the rails server will start but when I load a page I get an NPM related error in the browser console. I did not set up NPM/VueJS in this app so need some help getting it running locally...
Error: Module build failed (from ./node_modules/babel-loader/lib/index.js):

This is similar to an issue reported recently in this SO post but in that case NPM wasn't embedded in a Rails app. Regardless I tried their solution by removing node_modules (there is no package-lock.json) and running npm install but that led to more errors in the shell:
$ npm install

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Legacy versions of mkdirp are no longer supported. Please update to mkdirp 1.x. (Note that the API surface has changed to use Promises in 1.x.)

This app is working in production so I'm not interested in updating outdated libraries at the moment. I'm not an NPM/JS guru so would appreciate any advice no matter how rudimentary this probably is. Thanks!
Edit: Results of yarn install --check-files as per request
