EMALFORMED Failed to read .bower.json

Hi, I'm having a strange issue with Bower, we run it in docker container with ubuntu and mount local directories with source code and dependencies into the container as /var/www/xxx. One one laptop with MacOS result of bower install is

bower                       EMALFORMED Failed to read /var/www/xxx/vendor/gildorwang-moment-precise-range/.bower.json

Additional error details
Unexpected end of JSON input

When I look at the /var/www/xxx/vendor/gildorwang-moment-precise-range/.bower.json in the container - it is empty. The name of the package is different every time. On another laptop with Windows+WSL everything works.

I couldn't find anything similar to that issue on the Internet unfortunately. If someone has any idea - please help.

Thanks!
