To run a script with Yarn 2's PnP, one should run yarn node script.js, rather than node script.js.
Is there an universal way to run things like ts-node (i.e. where you don't call node directly, thus you can't replace it with yarn node) with Yarn 2's PnP?
Just running yarn ts-node [...] (or yarn run ts-node [...]) works fine.

I have to run a script (from my package.json file) before I run yarn install. The script sets up the configuration for a private package. In my .yarnrc.yml, I have nodeLinker: node-modules (and I want to keep it that way because I get other errors if I remove it).
The problem is that when I run yarn run myscript I have the following error:
Usage Error: Couldn't find the node_modules state file - running an install might help (findPackageLocation)
$ yarn run [--inspect] [--inspect-brk] [-T,--top-level] [-B,--binaries-only] <scriptName> ...
But I can't run install before the script since I have private packages that need the script before it gets installed.
I just switched from NPM to Yarn 3.2.0. With NPM, I was able to run the script before installing packages.
I tried installing Cypress via Yarn as the directions specify and am getting the following error.
I also notice not all the usual cypress folders were created.
What am I doing wrong here?
Given
yarn add cypress --dev
yarn run cypress open
Actual
Error
Expect
Cypress to run and have some basic examples
First install the yarn package globally by running npm install -g yarn and restart your terminal.
After you can try with this command:
yarn add cypress
I'm using lerna in combination with yarn workspaces.
In that case, all the package hoisting and symlinking is handled by yarn workspaces.
In that particular case, what's the role of the lerna bootsrap command?
Does it bring anything more compared to a raw yarn install?
Should we use it or simply use yarn install?
When it comes solely to the lerna bootstrap command in combination with yarn there is no real benefit as it just calls yarn install.
On the other hand in certain scenarios it can make perfectly sense to combine those two, e.g. when you want to use some lerna helper commands or publish packages from your monorepo.
I see with yarn berry I get the plug'n'play feature instead of node_modules/
I couldn't find anything to suggest it supports running from installed packages.
For example with npm a workflow might be to run the installed version of webpack:
$ npm install --save-dev webpack
$ node node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack ...
A globally installed webpack might not be the same version. Worse yet, during Docker deployment, I get what's installed locally, the only node and npm are available globally. I thought I can do a preinstall script that does npm install -g yarn; yarn set version berry but then I'm not sure how to do webpack, jest, babel, etc, and the thought that I should have to install them all globally during the same preinstall hackaround seems like several steps backwards.
Is there some way to run from locally-installed packages that I'm missing?
I saw this possibly related question - Yarn Berry - Run a Node Script Directly
But the answer there seems a bit off the point - I'm not running any js, I'm trying to type in a package.json script, i.e. something that can run from the shell.
Why not just use yarn run <bin> (or simply yarn <bin>)? If you are in a repository set to use yarn berry, that will run any package bin file.
yarn node <file> will run any .js file with Plug n' Play set up. No need to install those dependencies globally, except for maybe yarn classic.
I was trying to do yarn some-bin and kept getting:
Couldn't find a script named "some-bin".
I eventually figured out it was because the package that provides some-bin is installed inside a workspace and not at the root of my project. So instead I had to run:
yarn workspace my-workspace some-bin
And that worked.
First, I'm new to React. I'm trying to use Google's Material-UI for my React project. In this tutorial, it says run npm install, but I heard using yarn and npm together in the same project because it might bring about some confusion between those two later. So, I'm trying to stick to yarn only.
npm install seems to install all the dependency package for the thing that I wanna use, but how can I do that in yarn? I tried yarn add, but it didn't work. How can I do that?
EDIT
Just found that it has only package.json, which means I can only use npm install to install dependencies. Would there be no problem when I use yarn later?
You should just be able to run yarn ("Running yarn with no command will run yarn install, passing through any provided flags." So just a simple yarn is what you'd want now, this answer previously suggested yarn install)
Here is a comparison table of most/all the commands you'd likely encounter
Edit Sept 2020: The newer versions of npm have greatly improved and caught up to yarn, so I currently have no clue what possible benefits yarn offers anymore, I'm 100% npm for the last year or so
The equivalent of $ npm install is just $ yarn (without arguments) to install all dependencies from package.json.
Also, just to clarify your query -
Just found that it has only package.json, which means I can only use npm install to install dependencies. Would there be no problem when I use yarn later?
Doesn't matter whether you use yarn or npm, there will always be a package.json.
And no, there won't be a problem when using yarn later.
You get package-lock.json when using npm, and yarn.lock file when using yarn.
It's not recommended to use both yarn and npm for the same project, so you should remove either of package-lock.json and yarn.lock.
In my case it worked as - yarn global add #angular/cli (similarly any dependency)
then added path "C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Yarn\Data\global\node_modules.bin" in "Edit the system environment variables" -> Environment Variables -> Under System Variables select PATH-> click New -> Add the above path then save-> Open new command prompt -> run the dependency command.
yarn install --force
From Yarn's help text on the install command:
--force install and build packages even if they were built before, overwrite lockfile
I had a situation where nom install would install everything and yarn install wouldn't. So maybe try the other package manager?
