issue while Creating an Amazon RDS Database

[Vandivier]

start like #1758

1. create new empty repo and clone locally
2. cdk init app --language=typescript
3. Receive "cdk init cannot be run in a non-empty directory!"
4. mkdir cdk, cd cdk, then repeat step 2
5. Creation succeeds. Now, cdk list
6. Receive Error: Cannot find module ... \cdk\bin\cdk.js'.

Additional details:

1. using git bash on windows 7.
2. cdk --version: 0.24.1 (build 67fcf6d)
3. node --version: 11.1.0

This issue doesn't occur as described above. After step 4, creation succeeds, before cdk list, create /cdk/lib/test.ts and paste the content of the Creating an Amazon RDS Database starter. Now receive the noted error.

Remove /cdk/lib/test.ts and the error is eliminated. npm run build and receive informative errors @aws-cdk/aws-ec2, and similar. Install required dependencies and cdk list will neither fail nor mention the rds starter stack. Running npm run build in this state still results in a different error:

Let me know if this behavior is expected and close if appropriate. Issue renamed based on resolution of the cdk.js concern.

Errors shown above were silenced by updating Creating an Amazon RDS Database code to what is shown below. Notice that after silencing errors, cdk list still does not mention the now-compiling stack:

// ref: https://awslabs.github.io/aws-cdk/versions/0.8.2/examples.html#creating-an-rds-database

import ec2 = require('@aws-cdk/aws-ec2');
import rds = require('@aws-cdk/aws-rds');
import cdk = require('@aws-cdk/cdk');

class MyStack extends cdk.Stack {
  constructor(parent: cdk.App, name: string, props?: cdk.StackProps) {
    super(parent, name, props);

    const vpc = new ec2.VpcNetwork(this, 'VPC');

    new rds.DatabaseCluster(this, 'MyRdsDb', {
      defaultDatabaseName: 'MyAuroraDatabase',
      masterUser: {
        username: 'admin',
        password: '123456',
      },
      engine: rds.DatabaseClusterEngine.Aurora,
      instanceProps: {
        instanceType: new ec2.InstanceTypePair(ec2.InstanceClass.Burstable2, ec2.InstanceSize.Small),
        vpc: vpc,
        vpcPlacement: {
          subnetsToUse: ec2.SubnetType.Public,
        },
      },
    });
  }
}

const app = new cdk.App();

new MyStack(app, 'MyStack');

app.run()

For some reason you've found the documentation to the 0.8.2 version of the CDK:

https://awslabs.github.io/aws-cdk/versions/0.8.2/examples.html#creating-an-rds-database

CDK has changed a lot in the mean time. Have a look at the latest RDS examples:

https://github.com/awslabs/aws-cdk/blob/master/packages/@aws-cdk/aws-rds/test/integ.cluster.ts

Thanks! Will close.
