Yarn: Yarn offline cache is difficult to search

[amcgee]

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

feature

What is the current behavior?
yarn cache ls is difficult to search. This makes it tough to confirm that a package exists in the local cache. For instance:

$ yarn cache ls | wc -l
  241

(requires manually looking for the package since yarn cache ls | grep <name> doesn't work - this is probably a separate bug.)

A workaround is to use an intermediate file and grep -

$ yarn cache ls > yarncache.txt
$ grep "immutable" yarncache.txt
  immutable                                               3.8.1        npm      https://registry.yarnpkg.com/immutable/-/immutable-3.8.1.tgz#200807f11ab0f72710ea485542de088075f68cd2

For local dependancies yarn list <name> does the trick, but this is not implemented for yarn cache ls

What is the expected behavior?

$ yarn cache ls immutable
  yarn cache v0.23.2
  Name        Version      Registry Resolved      
  immutable   3.8.1        npm      https://registry.yarnpkg.com/immutable/-/immutable-3.8.1.tgz#200807f11ab0f72710ea485542de088075f68cd2

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

$ node -v
  v7.9.0
$ yarn --version
  0.23.2
$ system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType | grep "System Version"
  System Version: macOS 10.12.4 (16E195)
