Unable to use cdk command on Windows

[Iamz]

Describe the bug
Unable to run any cdk command on Windows OS after the project is initialized.

To Reproduce
mkdir temp
cd temp
cdk init --language=typescript
cdk synth

The following error occurs

'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Subprocess exited with error 1

If I open cdk.json and replace '/' with '\' then execute "cdk synth" again, it will succeed.

{
  "app": ".\\node_modules\\.bin\\ts-node bin/temp.ts"
}

Expected behavior
Executing "cdk synth" on Windows OS should work without having to edit the cdk.json file.

Version:

• OS: Windows 10
• Programming Language: Typescript
• CDK Version: 0.32.0

@Iamz thanks for reporting. Can you try to change app in cdk.json to be npx ts-not bin/temp.ts and let us know if this works.

[Iamz]

@eladb Yes, changing app to npx ts-node bin/temp.ts fixes the problem.

[eladb]

Awesome. We'll fix this (unless you are interested in submitting a PR :-))

Hi, I have the same problem here.
But there's no problem going into the virtual environment on the MAC and executing the SDK synth.But in win10 virtual environment after the implementation of the error

Subprocess exited with error 9009

I am also having this error

OS : WIndows
Python : Python3
Local python returns a version via :

C:\Users\XXX>python --version
Python 3.7.5

python3 --version, returns nothing

When running cdk deploy I also saw a 9009 error, in my case this was a format of python call in cdk.json

This statement gave 9009 :

{
  "app": "python3 app.py"
}

Works :

{
  "app": "python app.py"
}

So, you need to adjust properly binary call in cdk.json
