Yarn: Regression: Yarn in official docker image fails to install private modules (404)

[razor-x]

Encountering a pretty serious regression that has broken all our CI builds with no clear workaround (other then updating all builds to install and use a local fixed version of yarn 0.22.0, which is far from ideal) .

Looks like the node docker images were all updated today with yarn 0.23.2 which is about when I started seeing this issue on my CI tool.

Yarn will not install any private node modules even with a valid token in ~/.npmrc (gives 404 errors). The new images updated from yarn v0.22.0 to v0.23.2. I'm using the node:boron image. Builds that previously passed now fail with the error.

I'm Using 0.23.2 locally with the same token in ~/.npmrc without issue, so i suspect there is some issue with the docker env and yarn 0.23.2. Installing and running a local version of yarn v0.22.0 inside the container does not show the issue (installing v0.23.2 does).

I cross posted this issue as I'm not sure where the regression lives (https://github.com/nodejs/docker-node/issues/386).

This is happening to me in linux with v0.23.2 without docker

I ran into the same issue, it so happens that if you have .npmrc in your working directory it works.
