ansible failing on installing npm modules

I am using ansible to setup a node project on my EC2 instance. I am using npm module to install npm modules. The issue which I am facing is that my ansible script is failing to do so exactly 50% of the time. So every alternative time it will fail on the same step wth the same exact playbook.

This is my playbook

---
- hosts: test
  gather_facts: false

  tasks:
    - name: clear map files from /tmp
      shell: rm /tmp/*.map
      become: yes
      ignore_errors: yes
    - name: remove /home/ubuntu/app dir
      file:
        path: /home/ubuntu/app
        state: absent
    - name: clone github repo
      git:
        accept_hostkey: yes
        repo: git@github.com:test_company/app.git
        dest: /home/ubuntu/app
        version: master
    - name: install npm packages
      npm:
        path: /home/ubuntu/app
      register: node_module
      ignore_errors: yes
    - debug: var=node_module
    - name: start node app
      shell: cd /home/ubuntu/app && pm2 kill && pm2 flush && npm start

My playbook fails on install npm packages step. This is the output i get in debug task

            "  CXX(target) Release/obj.target/sharp/src/pipeline.o"
        ]
    }
}

While when the task succeed then I get this output in debug statement

TASK [debug] *******************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
    "node_module": {
        "changed": true
    }
}

I tried using the shell moduele and it gave the same result. On the other hand if i run npm i command manually then i am getting no errors and modules are installing properly. I have no clue why is this failing every alternative time.
