(aws-lambda-nodejs): Users are directed to a closed issue from the CLI

General Issue

There is a CLI error about empty zip files pointing users to a closed issue, but the bug is not fixed

The Question

There is a bug causing CDK to generate empty zip files from assets which outputs the following error message:

🚨 WARNING: EMPTY ZIP FILE 🚨

Zipping this asset produced an empty zip file. We do not know the root cause for this yet, and we need your help tracking it down.

Please visit https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/18459 and tell us:
Your OS version, Nodejs version, CLI version, package manager, what the asset is supposed to contain, whether
or not this error is reproducible, what files are in your cdk.out directory, if you recently changed anything,
and anything else you think might be relevant.

The deployment will continue, but it may fail. You can try removing the cdk.out directory and running the command
again; let us know if that resolves it.

If you meant to produce an empty asset file on purpose, you can add an empty dotfile to the asset for now
to disable this notice.

The issue referenced (#18459) was resolved by the requester because they worked around it, but the issue itself hasn't actually been fixed. I've added more details about how I was able to reproduce the problem to that issue, but since it has been resolved I don't expect it to get much visibility. I'm creating this issue to request that issue be re-opened.
