I am developing a system using Angular CLI: 17.3.9 and Node: 18.13.0. After finishing the development, when I run the command,

ng build

or

ng build --verbose

or

ng run build

the build process begins but never completes. It seems to stop halfway through and doesn’t create the dist folder. The output looks like this:

• I’ve attempted to run the build commands (ng build, ng build –verbose, ng run build), but the process stops partway through with no dist folder generated.
• I’ve also checked for possible memory issues or system limitations but didn’t find any clear signs.
• I expected the build process to complete successfully, creating the necessary output files in the dist folder, but it halts at the point mentioned above without producing the output.
