npm run dev (or production) stops at setup with no errors

Hi

I have a laravel project and am using laravel mix for transpiling js and scss

Everything works fine on my local machine and on my colleagues machine, but on out testing server, when I try running npm run dev or npm run prod, nothing happens. It just stops without any success or error message

Here's an image showing the output

[private@private privateFolder]$ npm run development


> development
> mix


● Mix █████████████████████████ setup (8%)
 compilation


[private@private privateFolder]$

As seen here, it just stops at 8% everytime, no js and css files are generated in the output path and no errors are thrown either, so I have no clue on what the issue is. And let me remind again that there's no issue when running it on local

Here's a verbose output

Anyone got any clue on how to fix this, or atleast where I should look to see what's wrong?
