StandardNpmSynthOptions doesn't contain InstallCommands

[OksanaH]

Hello I've pulled the repo, and am getting the error "StandardNpmSynthOptions doesn't contain InstallCommands/BuildCommands" in PipelineStack.cs

Hey @OksanaH,

I can confirm this, I will look into a patch ASAP.

@NGL321 It looks to me like the BuildCommands and InstallCommands should be BuildCommand and InstallCommand. The extra "s" isn't required as shown here:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/latest/dotnet/api/Amazon.CDK.Pipelines.SimpleSynthAction.html#Amazon_CDK_Pipelines_SimpleSynthAction_StandardNpmSynth_Amazon_CDK_Pipelines_IStandardNpmSynthOptions_.

These commands should be singular strings instead of arrays of commands. You can workaround this with the following which fixes the issue:

                    InstallCommand = "npm install -g aws-cdk && sudo apt-get install -y dotnet-sdk-3.1",
                    
                    BuildCommand = "dotnet build" // Language-specific build cmd

This also ties into the following ticket about passing multiple synth commands instread of the awkward && way of chaining commands. aws/aws-cdk#9357

However this does leads to other issues down the line of not being able to install dotnet-sdk-3.1 on Code Build which i think is related to this thread - dotnet/core#4360

I think this command will do the .NET Core installation: "npm install -g aws-cdk && wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/18.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb && dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb && apt-get update && apt-get install -y apt-transport-https && apt-get update && apt-get install -y dotnet-sdk-3.1"

@OksanaH Thank you! That got me over one hurdle.
