When I run the npm run dist-mac it does not create the .dmp files and I am getting this error. What do I have to do to get this to succeed? I have been working on this with Grok and chatGPT, but so far they have not been helpful.

MacBookPro:expense_tracker denisputnam$ npm run dist-mac

Grok is of no help. Can someone tell what is wrong?

This is my package.json file.
