Error: PollingBlockTracker - encountered an error while attempting to update latest block: undefined

I'm trying to develop DApp on polygon blockchain. Basically I'm minting NFT but after few mints I get this error. It even happens when I don't mint NFT. Here is my code.

const Web3 = require("web3")
const fs = require("fs")
var HDWalletProvider = require("@truffle/hdwallet-provider");
var provider = new HDWalletProvider(SECRET_PHRASE, "https://rpc-mumbai.maticvigil.com")
const web3 = new Web3(provider)
const constractJSON = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(`${process.cwd()}/contracts/Collection.json`))
const abi = constractJSON["abi"]
const byteCode = constractJSON["byteCode"]["object"]





const mintNFT = async (contractAddress,tokenURI,to) => {

    const contract = await new web3.eth.Contract(abi, contractAddress)    

    const result = await contract.methods.claimItem(tokenURI,to).send({from: WALLET_ADDRESS,gasLimit:6000000},)  
}

module.exports = mintNFT

Here is the full Error.

I got the same issue. You can see the error log below

const newErr = new Error(`PollingBlockTracker - encountered an error while attempting to update latest block:\n${err.stack}`)
                       ^
    Error: PollingBlockTracker - encountered an error while attempting to update latest block:
    undefined
        at PollingBlockTracker._performSync (/Users/buuthongtran/Downloads/FlightSurety/node_modules/eth-block-tracker/src/polling.js:51:24)
        at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:95:5)
    npm ERR! Test failed.  See above for more details.

I found out I forgot to launch Ganache before running truffle test, so I tried launching Ganache and input the right mnemonic and port. The issue went away after that.
