What is the problem?

On instantiation, the CustomResourceProvider class writes a file into the node_modules directory instead of creating a safe temporary directory to stage local assets. What's more, for users of Yarn berry with PnP, node_modules is a read-only ZipFS filesystem, which raises an exception when the write is attempted.

Reproduction Steps

const bucket = new s3.Bucket(this, 'MyBucket', {
  removalPolicy: cdk.RemovalPolicy.DESTROY,
  autoDeleteObjects: true, // <-- this line causes synth to fail, uses CustomResourceProvider
});

What did you expect to happen?

A stack would be synthesized containing a custom resource to delete objects from the above bucket in the event the bucket is ever removed from the stack.

What actually happened?

me@host % yarn cdk synthesize

  return Object.assign(new Error(`${code}: ${message}`), {
                       ^

Other information

Previously reported as a problem in the aws-s3 module, closed by that module's maintainer:

#16552

Most likely source of the problem:

A temporary directory should be created (the core module provides FileSystem.mkdtemp) and the code should be written to that instead of assuming that the module directory can accept writes. Specifics for Yarn 2.x can be viewed at:
