Error: Cannot find module '@medic/contact-types-utils'

have been managed to get @medic/contact-types-utils to be tracked ,had to run npm ci & and also did an npm upgrade .

However the node server.js or grunt dev-api in core/api folder fails to initilaze the api servrer with

Any ideas on initialization on the medic-api is failling ?
