Hello.

After upgrading to 1.37.0, I ran into an error:

From looking around, I think this is tied to the upgrade of uuid to v 8.0.0
but v8.0 of uuid has a breaking change where the generic uuid module is not exported anymore, yet, it is still used in CDK, at least here

Thank you.

My node is v12.14.1 and npm is 6.13.4 than i do not have this issue. By the way, my teammate has node v13.5.0 and npm 6.13.4 and he has similar issue with you. I think it is related with node version. Can you downgrade it while resolving this issue?

When i upgrade my node version to v13.5.0 i got same error

[mertsaygi]

aws-cdk uses uuid library. The library has an resolved GitHub issue. The solution is updating node version from v13.x.x to latest v13 which is v13.14.0. When i updated to that version my node, i resolved this issue:

Upgrading to Node 14.2.0 solved the problem for me

Thanks @spg !
Upgrading Node to v14.1.0 using brew did fix the problem for me too.
