‼️ NOTICE: 'Error: ENOTDIR invalid cwd' on `cdk deploy` in 1.90.0

Please add your +1 👍 to let us know you have encountered this

Update

Version 1.90.1 which includes a fix is now released.

---

There is an issue with the way the CDK assets mechanism identifies already .zip file. Currently it will try to zip the already zipped file that will throw an error. We are working on a fix.

Workaround

TL;DR: delete the cdk.out folder before executing cdk deploy

The issue occurs when executing cdk deploy when there is a .zip file in the cdk.out folder. This happens when executing cdk synth - which creates the cdk.out folder, followed by cdk deploy (which is a completely normal cdk flow). To workaround this, delete the cdk.out folder before executing cdk deploy.

Repro

Any application which includes an asset with a .zip file will fail to deploy:

new lambda.Function(this, 'MyLambda', {
      code: lambda.Code.fromAsset(path.join(__dirname, '../my-zip.zip')),
      handler: 'index.handler',
      runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_12_X
 })

important: execute cdk synth before executing cdk deploy

cdk deploy will throw:

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: ENOTDIR invalid cwd 

Status: Working on a patch release

Overview:

When running cdk deploy in version 1.90.0 on a Stack that contains assets, you might see an error like 'Error: ENOTDIR invalid cwd.
