Using YARN

[girish]

@FoksVHox yarn is already there. Does the below work in a Web Terminal ?

root@d8e7cdf87e6b:/# yarn --version
1.22.17

yarn --version

Sorry for the late reply, it indeed does, however, when using custom commands, that are specified within your package.json file, it doesn't work.

This is my package.json file:

{
    "private": true,
    "scripts": {
        "dev": "vite",
        "build": "vite build"
    },
    "devDependencies": {

}

When I run yarn build I get the following error.

root@de780a18-b997-4803-a5b2-f07549cad279:/app/data/lectero# yarn build

And I also think it has something to do with the version of Yarn not being version 2

@FoksVHox have you run yarn install prior to running yarn build ?

[FoksVHox]

@nebulon Yes. I can confirm this has something to do with the version of Yarn not being Yarn v2.

[nebulon]

Actually to take a step back, from your package.json it looks like there is nothing yarn specific, couldn't you just use npm there instead?

Well I could, however, npm is often way slower than yarn is.

[nebulon]

@FoksVHox actually I have mixed experience there since some npm releases. But either way would a few seconds make much difference in your case compared to it working?

[FoksVHox]

@nebulon I've tried to use npm but it seems that it won't work either.

[nebulon]

@FoksVHox is there any other error with npm?

[FoksVHox]

@nebulon There is:

EACCES: permission denied, open '/app/data/lectero/public/build/assets/app.22fa980f.js'
error during build:
Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/app/data/lectero/public/build/assets/app.22fa980f.js'

[nebulon]

@FoksVHox seems like a permission issue then. Make sure that the user, with whom you are running npm, has write access to those folders.

[girish]

@FoksVHox If you are running as www-data user, you have to chown -R www-data:www-data /app/data/public

[girish]

Was just investigating this a bit. What I found is that yarn wants to write as root user into /usr/local/share/.yarnrc. This is reported upstream as bug https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/4628

Workaround (you can put this in /app/data/.bashrc if you like):

export YARN_DISABLE_SELF_UPDATE_CHECK="true"

After this, I am able to install easily:

@girish Will you update the thread once the issue has been resolved?

[girish]

@FoksVHox Will do. I am subscribed to that issue, but it's open for 5 years now, so I have no hope
