Issues with cdktf: Build AWS Infrastructure with TypeScript

Terraform CDK for Terraform
1

I tried out the learning tutorial: Build AWS Infrastructure with TypeScript | Terraform - HashiCorp Learn and got the following error:

[2022-01-05T16:42:30.186] [ERROR] default - TSError: ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript:

}
cdktf encountered an error while synthesizing

Synth command: npx ts-node main.ts
Error:         non-zero exit code 1

I’m also getting this error in vs code…

Module '"./.gen/providers/aws"' has no exported member 'Instance'.ts(2305)

Here are the tool versions that I’m using:

terraform 1.1.2
nodejs 16.2.0
yarn 1.22.17

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@cdktf/provider-aws": "^4.0.1",
    "@cdktf/provider-docker": "^0.5.145",
    "cdktf": "^0.8.5",
    "constructs": "^10.0.25"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/jest": "^27.4.0",
    "@types/node": "^17.0.8",
    "jest": "^27.4.7",
    "ts-jest": "^27.1.2",
    "ts-node": "^10.4.0",
    "typescript": "^4.5.4"
  }
}

Thanks for reporting. This is also being tracked here, including a workaround.
