Error generating "amplify_outputs.json" using "npx ampx generate outputs"

[disinibale]

Describe the bug I encountered an error while trying to generate the amplify_outputs.json file using the command npx ampx generate outputs, which usually works but not working now because of missing dependencies.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run the command npx ampx generate outputs in the terminal.
2. Observe the error message displayed.

Expected behavior The amplify_outputs.json file should be generated successfully without any errors.

Hey @disinibale :wave: thanks for raising this! Would you mind posting the output from ampx info? aws-cdk-lib should be declared as a dependency in your root package.json
