This is 🐛 Bug Report

@liamor thanks, that pointed me in the right direction.

It looks like there is an issue with the yaml dependency and the exports key, which is used for ESM module support. This occurs on CDK versions going back quite a ways.

If you need to use cdk with NodeJS 13.0.0-13.6.0, you can use the --experimental-modules flag, ie: node --experimental-modules /path/to/cdk --version. Otherwise, I’d recommend using node 12 or > 13.7.0 until we figure out the best course here. It doesn’t seem like we can change our export strategy currently since the top level CJS export doesn’t expose the types module in yaml.

Here is the issue in the yaml repo with more info https://github.com/eemeli/yaml/issues/140

I am getting the same error when runing cdk init --language typescript
