esbuild cannot run locally

[andyRokit]

When I run cdk deploy (or cdk synth) I receive the following error:

Bundling asset AwsMicroservicesStack/Microservices/productLambdaFunction/Code/Stage...
esbuild cannot run locally. Switching to Docker bundling.
✘ [ERROR] Could not resolve "@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb"

See full console output

This may be related to https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/pull/14914/files (which apparently fixed the issue for CDK v1).

In my case this was resolved by installation of the missing packages, e.g.:
npm install @aws-sdk/client-dynamodb

Another issue was usage of NodeJS v19 that's currently unsupported by the CDK, but its downgrade to LTS v18 resolved that.
