CDK CodePipleine: Unable to find .dot file in cdk.out directory running cdk deploy

[austinegri]

Describe the bug

I cannot run some cdk commands. When running cdk ls or 'cdk deploy' I get the following response:

I am trying to follow the basic instructions at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/v2/guide/cdk_pipeline.html to institute a cdk pipeline. I have the exact code listed in the tutorial. I get the same issue when using cdk deploy.

Expected Behavior

CDK to list stacks

Current Behavior

Run:

Looks like you are using node v21 but it's not fully tested in CDK.

Have you tried node v20 and let us know if it works for you?

probably related to #28242

This seems to bypass the issue thank you! I mustve missed the node version requirement
