javascript - Cannot convert object to primitive value error in react application?

Question

I'm developing a simple react-spring boot application, but because of a GitHub issue I recreate my application starter files using IntelliJ and installed the node modules using the previous application's package.json file's dependency data.

If I use a collapsing navigation bar (hamburger bar-->responsive navbars which collapse in the mobile view) and click the hamburger button to see the nav links it gives me the below error. But all those things went well in the previous application.

TypeError: Cannot convert object to primitive value
