cli-lib-alpha: unable to bundle NodejsFunction

[dreamorosi]

Describe the bug

When using the AwsCdkCli from the @aws-cdk/cli-lib-alpha package I'm unable to synthesise stacks containing a NodejsFunction construct.

Expected Behavior

The stack should synth & deploy normally, provided that all other parameters are valid.

Current Behavior

When attempting to synth the stack, an error is thrown:

Error: Failed to bundle asset cdk-poc-nodejs18x-6e3e8-makeFnIdempotent/my-function/Code/Stage, bundle output is located at /private/var/folders/s7/xzcjrts93cn5_mq16vkcqt794zqxk7/T/cdk.outoC4Vgb/bundling-temp-eb7f12479b9ffbb7cb20787b7437388f75f41b3c18ec89fbfaa0e64470237272-error: TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE]: The argument 'stdio' is invalid.

Reproduction Steps

1. Create a class that implements ICloudAssemblyDirectoryProducer, along the lines of what described in the construct docs:

class MyProducer implements ICloudAssemblyDirectoryProducer {
  public app: App;
  public stack: Stack;
  #stackName: string;

  public constructor(stackName: string, context?: Record<string, any>) {
    this.#stackName = stackName;
    this.app = new App();
    this.stack = new Stack(this.app, this.#stackName);
  }

  async produce() {
    return this.app.synth().directory;
  }
}

2. Init the provider and cli

const producer = new MyProducer("cdk-poc-nodejs18x-6e3e8-makeFnIdempotent");
const cli = AwsCdkCli.fromCloudAssemblyDirectoryProducer(producer);

3. Add resources to the stack

const table = new Table(producer.stack, "my-table", {
  tableName: "my-table",
  partitionKey: {
  name: "id",
    type: AttributeType.STRING,
  },
  billingMode: BillingMode.PAY_PER_REQUEST,
  removalPolicy: RemovalPolicy.DESTROY,
});

const nodeJsFunction = new NodejsFunction(producer.stack, "my-function", {
  runtime: Runtime.NODEJS_18_X,
  functionName: "my-function-1234",
  entry: join(__dirname, `./src/index.ts`),
  timeout: Duration.seconds(30),
  handler: "handler",
  environment: {
    IDEMPOTENCY_TABLE_NAME: table.tableName,
  },
  logRetention: RetentionDays.ONE_DAY,
});
table.grantReadWriteData(nodeJsFunction);

4. Synth the stack

await cli.synth({
  stacks: [producer.stack.stackName],
});

5. create a function file in src/index.ts

export const handler = async () => { return { statusCode: 200 } };

6. run & see the error

  entry: join(__dirname, `./src/index.ts`),
  timeout: Duration.seconds(30),
  handler: "handler",
  environment: {
    IDEMPOTENCY_TABLE_NAME: table.tableName,
  },
  logRetention: RetentionDays.ONE_DAY,
});
table.grantReadWriteData(nodeJsFunction);

await cli.synth({
  stacks: [producer.stack.stackName],
});

This could be related to #20873

I am making this a p1 but as cli-lib-alpha is an early experimental package, we probably won't be able to look into this issue immediately. But we welcome any further insights for this if any.

Hi @pahud thank you replying and providing a link to another issue.

I am positive that this is indeed related to #20873. Using the workaround described in this comment makes the error go away.
