I am unable to understand what is causing it. I am trying to migrate code from cfn to cdk. Please help me with this issue.

Check this thread from GitHub: https://github.com/google/docsy/issues/265 Basically, what you need to do is to upgrade the node version to 10.0.0 or higher and update the fs-extra package to 9.0.0 or higher. For me, it just worked with the update of node.
