Which installation method did you use to install Yarn?

I'm experiencing the same problem. In my case, I use the .msi provided on https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install. Yarn works fine under cmd.exe.

Replacing the yarn file content into the bin folder by:

#!/bin/sh
basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\\,/,g')")

case `uname` in
    *CYGWIN*) basedir=`cygpath -w "$basedir"`;;
esac

node "$basedir/yarn.js" "$@"
ret=$?

exit $ret

did the trick for me.

@Daniel15 I use I use the .msi provided on https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install

Good catch... yarn should probably be a shell script that handles Cygwin.

@Daniel15 I just use alias yarn=yarn.cmd to work it around.
