[webpack-cli] HookWebpackError: RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

[mai1x9]

Hello there, i am getting the erorr: [webpack-cli] HookWebpackError: RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded when the modules outside the root directory are imported.

The project structure is,

project
    | api
          app.js
          
          .... otherfiles

    | db
      ... js files for db interaction
    | core
       .. some js iles
    webpack.config.js
    package.json

app.js uses the js files from db and core. When webpack is run from project foolder which is the parent dir, it throws below error. However if app.js and webpack.config.js are present in root dir project instead of api folder, then everything works.
