Terminal size is 0 on CI and so diff and deploy throws exception when trying to create table of changes

[CSmither]

Describe the bug
In some CI setups (CircleCI and Jenkins), process.stdout.column can return 0 and so when the cdk uses the table library to create the table of resources to print to logs it throws an exception as terminal width cannot be 0.

To Reproduce
Run any cdk diff or cdk deploy command on a terminal with 0 width or on a CI setup where process.stdout.column returns 0

> [email protected] cdk /home/circleci/repo/stack
> cdk "deploy"

COLUMN WIDTH ===> 0

Expected behavior
Print a table of the stack to logs and continue on to either describe diff or deploy stack

This isn't really an issue with cdk it is an issue with combining the library that cdk uses with certain CI environments. The CI environment reports process.stdout.columns as 0 which causes the tables library to throw an exception.

Still feels like a bug m

[CSmither]

Fair enough. Shout if you need any logs, configs, etc.

Thanks for reporting!

I use stty rows ROW_NUMBER cols COLUMN_NUMBER as a workaround for CircleCI.
Example:

- run:
    name: diff
    command: |
      stty rows 64 cols 204
      npx cdk diff --app "npx ts-node bin/A.ts"

Just FYI for CircleCI and cdk user.
