Using YARN

[FoksVHox]

@nebulon said in Using YARN:

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'

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

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

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
