Crontab not running SOME node js scripts - node.js

Question

I have a VPS running amazon linux with Node JS. I'm trying to run a node js script that sends a GET request to an API to get data, then sends a POST request to another API with said data. The script works when running using node in the terminal, but not after adding it to sudo crontab -e.
Now I know about the complications with absolute paths when using crontab, I've read many of the stackoverflow questions and I'm fairly certain pathing isn't the issue. To test this, I created a test script that creates a file in the root directory, and it works in crontab. This test script is in the SAME directory as the main script, which has me very confused.
The script uses two packages, Axios and Puppeteer. Here is the script with some information replaced with placeholders:
import axios from "axios";
import puppeteer from "puppeteer";
const apiKey = process.env.API_KEY
const USER_ID = process.env.USER_ID
const sitekey = process.env.SITE_KEY
const surl= 'url'
const url= 'url'
async function webSubmit (data) {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: true, args: ['--no-sandbox'] });
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto(url);
await page.$eval("input[name='data']", (el, data) => el.value = data, data)
await page.click('#submitButton')
setTimeout(() => {
browser.close()
}, 5000)
}
function checkStatus (id) {
axios.get(url)
.then(response => {
if (response.data === 'NOT_READY') {
setTimeout(() => {
checkStatus(id)
}, 10000)
} else {
const data = response.data.slice(3)
webSubmit(data)
}
})
.catch(e => console.log(e))
}
function post() {
const postUrl = url
axios.post(postUrl)
.then(response => {
const id = response.data.slice(3)
setTimeout(() => {
checkStatus(id)
}, 30000)
})
.catch(error => console.log(error))
}
post()
Test Script:
import * as fs from 'fs'
fs.writeFile("/vote" + Math.random(), "Hi", function(err) {
if(err){
return console.log(err)
}
console.log("File saved")
})
Crontab Jobs:
* * * * * /opt/bitnami/node/bin/node /home/bitnami/app/index.js
* * * * * cd /home/bitnami/app && /opt/bitnami/node/bin/node index.js
Both these jobs work if I change the index.js script to test.js, but not as index.js.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
