-However, this will be time consuming. In this section we'll describe some common issues you may encounter and some more
-targeted commands you can run to resolve your issue.
+This is most probably caused by the fact that your CDK app is using `--prefer-ts-exts` option (which is the [default in new CDK TS-based apps]([url](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/7475))). To fix this, try one of the following:
+- Don't compile aws-cdk-lib. You can do this by removing `--prefer-ts-exts` from your app command in `cdk.json` - this means you will have to run a build in the lib repo every time you make a change (or use `npm run watch / yarn watch`).
+- Update your `tsconfig.json`. In this case it's going to be adding `"resolveJsonModule": true` as suggested by the error to the `"compilerOptions"` section. If you change the test app, different or more errors might come up that will have a similar resolution.
