aws-cdk: aws cdk commands fail with error "Subprocess exited with error null"

Describe the bug

When I run any cdk command, it fails with the following error and exit code 1: Subprocess exited with error null No extra helpful information is printed out. However, when I use --verbose it raises the following info Example running cdk ls --verbose :

[14:56:39] Reading cached notices from /Users/{user}/.cdk/cache/notices.json

Subprocess exited with error null
[14:56:39] Error: Subprocess exited with error null

    at ChildProcess.emit (node:domain:489:12)
    at ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:292:12)

Current Behavior

Additional Information/Context

I have tried different combinations of version of node (20, 14) , npm, and aws-cdk but still running into the same issue. I am able to run cdk and deploy this same code/repo on a windows machine I am using pyenv and nvm for version management, and running these cdk commands within a python poetry environment
