Hi @matthewvolk, looking at the stack trace, I assume your theme is running on webpack 4, which is not supporting Node 18. You would need to update webpack from 4 to 5 and related to it packages to get your theme running on Node 18. I would recommend going through Cornerstone PR to see which packages were update there.

Thanks @jairo-bc! I talked to the community member and they mentioned your suggestion of walking through the changes in the Cornerstone PR helped to resolve their issue.
