Hi

Running command npm install -g cdk-assets@2.74.0

What made it install cdk-assets@2.74.0 from the CodeBuild?

Hi The basis is the CDK project structure for Python (https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-project-structure-python).
Updating the package.json to 2.74.0 cause the CDK Pipeline to run the install.
The versioning of the cdk-assets seems to have changed with versions 2.73.0 and 2.74.0 having the alpha extensions added. Looking at the NPM repo, prior versions did not do that.

Add 2.75.0 as well

@pahud It looks like publish asset action is what adds an install command to the buildspec.

I'm hitting this issue when I upgrade as well. It is possible we are doing something unusual or else I figure this would be a much more wide spread problem. If I had to guess, I'd say is it because we are overriding the cliVersion with a version of cdk-assets that is not being published. In this case, that would be anything after 2.72.1.

Is there a reason that the non-alpha versions of the cdk-assets stopped being published to NPM after 2.72.1?
