@doug-wade did you find a work around for this? I'm experiencing the same error :(

[doug-wade]

I did -- I use npm. Yarn has a lot of potential, but right now I just don't think its ready for production. Even lerna has moved back to npm.

[mattcolman]

😿 that may be the best option. Thanks!

[mattcolman]

actually I just ran yarn upgrade on prod and then redeployed and it worked. Still...I'm scared to deploy again, not convinced it will work :/

Just running into a similar issue on gitlab ci.

[Globegitter]

Somehow managed to get it to work. I copied around the .git/config in a docker container. Turns out I did not need to do that and that also seems like it was the thing that broke yarn.

Also on CircleCI, however, updating to yarn 0.27.5 seems to have solved it. CircleCI 2 image circleci/node:8.1.2 ships with 0.24.6 at the time of writing.

A working run step looks like this:

- run:
    name: update yarn
    command: |
      # remove default yarn
      sudo rm -rf $(dirname $(which yarn))/yarn*
      # download latest
      rm -rf ~/.yarn
      curl -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash
      echo 'export PATH="${PATH}:${HOME}/.yarn/bin"' >> $BASH_ENV

Closing since this seems to be resolved on latest master. Feel free to reopen if it is not.

@BYK i still experience a similar issue(at travis ci builds):

The command "eval yarn " failed. Retrying ...

[lifeiscontent]

@BYK same here

[nebrelbug]

Me too

Me three

I see that happening on node 6 (but not on node 8, 10 or 12) (see the travis log here).

In my travis.yml file, I have:

before_script :
 - curl -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash -s
 - export PATH=$HOME/.yarn/bin:$PATH
 - yarn install

...and so far it worked great on other versions of node.

Could somebody please re-open that issue ?

[kopax]

I am in Gitlab-CI and I am running [[ $(which yarn) = "" ]] && curl -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash, and later I am running cd server && [ ! -d node_modules ] && yarn || true and it gives me sh: 1: yarn: not found

I am trying now to reset my path with export PATH=$HOME/.yarn/bin:$PATH

It's strange that this is not done automatically.
