@heyimalex thanks for the input, indeed it seems to be related to the same issue.

Although in the issue you linked to, they mention Yarn version 1.14 as likely to solve the issue and since that is not available yet, I've found that I was able to solve my issue just by upgrading the version of Yarn to 1.13.0 (initially had Yarn 1.8.0 in my system when facing this issue).

Hope this might be useful to anyone else running into the same issue.
