Long story short, I have a mono repo that I have been using for almost a year. I had a hard drive failure and had to reinstall my OS. Now, when I try to do anything with the CDK, I get this error every time.
Cannot find module 'typescript'
Require stack:
- /home/jpsimkins/.npm/_npx/16449/lib/node_modules/ts-node/dist/index.js
- /home/jpsimkins/.npm/_npx/16449/lib/node_modules/ts-node/dist/repl.js
- /home/jpsimkins/.npm/_npx/16449/lib/node_modules/ts-node/dist/bin.js
This only affects the cdk synth|diff|deploy command. I have no issues with running tests which caused me even more confusion as I check snapshots.
At first, I was thinking this has to do with the PATH but I am not sure why this would be an issue now. I did use .husky but have since replaced it with my own system. I only mention this in-case this may be something worth knowing.
This could be an issue with node_module resolution as I have a node_modules directory in this project and the parent. I am using a mono repo with lerna. This isn't a lerna issue as this issue only happens when running cdk synth|diff|deploy. A simple test of just creating a bucket will throw that error.
I'm leaning towards the node_modules resolutions. This is not running where my tsconfig is as all the other scripts are working properly. I'm not sure why CDK is the only one having this issue. I have tested with 4 other binaries (jest, prettier, eslint, and tsc) and they run just fine. The issue is only with cdk.
I am using Lerna for the mono repo.
This is my devDependencies:

I installed Typescript globally to see if this would help (I normally use local installs for everything) but it did not.
I also confirmed that the tsc config is what I expect by running tsc --showConfig:

I even tried to install typescript and the cdk globally. This issue still persists.
Any insight is appreciated.. I've spend all day trying to fix this and no luck..

Okay, I was able to get this working but I am not sure why I had to do it this way after it's been working for over a year with the current system. I even have other devs using it with no issue. Very strange.
To get this working, I had to make a simple change.
I modified cdk.json to be:
{
"app": "../../../node_modules/.bin/ts-node --prefer-ts-exts src/index.ts",
"context": {
"@aws-cdk/core:enableStackNameDuplicates": "true",
"aws-cdk:enableDiffNoFail": "true"
}
}
Now I am able to get cdk commands to work.
This may be due to that I am not installing anything globally. I am requiring all packages be installed locally as this is possible with binaries too if you just specify the location. I assume this worked before as I did originally install globally and they may have been the reason for it to work as it did. Why it works for the other devs, I am unsure as they did not install globally (or so they say).
Part of my boostrap command is to delete all node_modules directories. The issue was that it was only using the package node_modules directory and not the parent as it should with Lerna. Anyways, by specifying the path ../../../node_modules/.bin/ts-node I am sure that it is working with the correct node_modules (parent) now.
