Hi @scheung38, thanks for reporting this. We will update this issue when there is movement.

I have a similar issue on OSX, outside of a Python virtual env the command cdk works just fine but inside a python virtual environment the command cdk is not recognised, I have to use the full path /usr/local/bin/cdk

[davidfsmith]

Just to update on this, investigated a bit further and resolved by removing cdk from my pyenv shim

rm ~/.pyenv/shims/cdk

Possibly a hang up from an earlier cdk install a while back.

@davidfsmith thanks for reporting that workaround. does that apply to both Windows and OS X?

Haven't had a chance to look at the Windows issue at all, but it might be helpful for other folks who run into the same issue nonetheless

Sorry @shivlaks - I should've noted this only tested on OSX (all I have access to) but hopefully will help someone

I'm attempting to reproduce this issue on my windows machine and am not able to. Is this still an issue @scheung38
It might just be staleness, but I'm testing with CLI version1.59.0.

I don't believe there is an actionable bug to take on here so dropping the bug label for now.
