CDK WorkShop Issue with cdk bootstrap command on Windows 7 Professional

[SomayaB]

❓ Guidance Question

Originally posted by @Blyseur in aws/aws-cdk#11010

In the CDK WorkShop, when we add our first lambda function, we have to import @aws-cdk/aws-lambda. Once, we write the code and we want to deploy, we have an error occured because of the bootstrapping

Reproduction Steps

On Windows, init a cdk project, follow the steps until arrived to the lambda function step.
https://cdkworkshop.com/20-typescript/30-hello-cdk/200-lambda.html

What did you expect to happen?

Deploy correctly CdkWorkshopStack

What actually happened?

We obtain an error, where it is sayed we must deployed the toolkit stack.

This stack uses assets, so the toolkit stack must be deployed to the environment (Run "cdk bootstrap aws://unknown-account/unknown-region")

So, at this moment, we run cdk bootstrap and an other error occured :

Hi @Blyseur, did you provide the environment (account and region) you want to deploy to? This can be done 3 ways.

1. Directly in the command cdk bootstrap aws://ACCOUNT-NUMBER/REGION.

2. Storing it in your aws profile and then using the basic cdk bootstrap command.

3. Using environment variables and then again using the basic cdk bootstrap command.

You can read more about bootstrapping here.
Key section:

If you do not specify at least one environment in the cdk bootstrap command, the AWS CDK Toolkit synthesizes the AWS CDK app in the current directory and bootstraps all the environments referenced in the app. If a stack is environment-agnostic (that is, it does not have an env property), the CDK's environment (for example, the one specified using --profile, or the default AWS environment otherwise) is applied to make the stack environment-specific, and that environment is then bootstrapped.

Hi @SomayaB yes, I did and I tried it with the same configuration on Linux, it worked correctly.
