I had the same error after moving to a new device and copying over my project. I suspect deleting the old node and node_modules from my project was what actually what worked. But I included all 4 steps, in case it is relevant.

The following stepped stopped the TypeError: Class extends value undefined is not a constructor or null related to minipass on the maven build in my project:

1. I made the project build node the same as my system's global node, which was v22.2.0
2. I upgrade my global npm npm update -g npm
3. I deleted my project's local node directory
4. I deleted my project's local node_modules directory

@mghiremath did @karendolan's solution work?
