provider add: unable to add aws provider due to tree too large

[iarlyy]

Expected Behavior

Able to add aws provider to my project and start crafting stacks

Actual Behavior

cdktf provider add aws fails with module source tree too large. I downloaded the zip file myself through github ui and after unpacking it found this:

 97M	cdktf-provider-aws-18.2.0.zip (file downloaded through github ui)
1.2G	cdktf-provider-aws-18.2.0 (unzipped folder)

provider add execution output:

Hi there, thanks for the report! We can look into this after the holidays since the entire team is off until the new year.

In the meantime, I wonder if a workaround would be to try to generate the provider bindings locally rather than attempting to use the prebuilt package, as there's no zip file involved in the former. I know it's not an ideal solution because generating the bindings for the AWS provider will take quite a bit of time and memory, but it would at least unblock you and allow you to start writing code while we look to see if we can get the size of the Go provider down. You can always switch back to the prebuilt provider later when we've resolved the issue.

The easiest way to do that is to use cdktf provider add aws --force-local. You can find more documentation and examples at https://cdk.tf/imports

Same problem here, the only solution was to downgrade to the 18.0.9 version
