https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/5292 changed behavior

[rally25rs]

It looks like tui-chart adds the dep to raphael:

  "dependencies": {
    "raphael": "https://github.com/nhnent/raphael.git#2.2.0b",

That GitHub repo does contain that branch and pacakge.json does have a matching version:
https://github.com/nhnent/raphael/blob/2.2.0b/package.json

2.2.0b is not valid semver:

~/Projects/yarn-test 🐒   node
> const s = require('semver');
undefined
> s.valid('2.2.0b')
null
> s.valid('2.2.0-b')
'2.2.0-b'

But it looks line in yarn 1.3.2 it somehow gets turned into 2.2.0-b instead, which is valid semver:

~/Projects/yarn-test 🐒   yarn list | grep raphael
├─ [email protected]
│  ├─ raphael@https://github.com/nhnent/raphael.git#2.2.0b

[naganowl]

I believe that the reason for this is that https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/5292 enforces semver too strictly on a package and breaks the functionality of allowing branch names from being specified in package.json.

I've run into this same problem and it's confirmed above since https://github.com/nhnent/raphael/tree/2.2.0b is a valid branch though an invalid semver.

[naganowl]

@Gemorroj there's still an issue with yarn failing to pull in packages based off a branch name. Is this expected behavior in yarn moving forward?

[lightstrike]

Confirming I have same issue as @naganowl

[naganowl]

Looks like there are fixtures for the upgrade flow that seem to support branches. Perhaps there's something broken with the add flow?

[naganowl]

Took another look at my workflow and it turns out that my issue was indeed because the branch I was referencing had a package dependency whose version is invalid (2.3.1.3). Upon updating it, the issue went away. I was wrong to believe that branch references were broken.

@lightstrike perhaps another look at dependencies of your packages may reveal a similar issue.

[sitetester]

I fixed this problem by renaming yarn.lock to something else (1yarn.lock) and then running yarn install again ;D
