yarnDownloadRoot looking at wrong location to download the package

[vediga]

I am trying install node and yarn from intranet. Node gets installed fine but yarn fails to install as it could not download the package on the intranet

I have set
<yarnDownloadRoot> path/to/root/yarn/-/ </yarnDownloadRoot>

and the plugin tries to download yarn from path/to/root/yarn/-/v0.17.10/yarn-v0.17.10.tar.gz and gets a 404 but actually the package is located at path/to/root/yarn/-/yarn-v0.17.10.tar.gz

Please suggest a way to fix this.

Try to move it on the intranet, so that it's in the correct place?

[vediga]

Is there a way I can specify absolute download path as opposed to specifying download root ?

[eirslett]

No, that's not possible.

i have the same problem. the plugin is extending the path to path/to/root/yarn/-/v0.xx.xx/yarn-v0.xx.xx.tar.gz.

another problem is the fileending. the plugin trying to fetch *.tar.gz but i have *.tgz packages only available at intranet.

please provide an configuration option!

thanks in advance

Please understand we are developer, fighting with devops isnt where send our productivity. @eirslett please give us release where we can specify yarn or any package absolute location inside config of pom :)

This problem is still super actual! Are there any improvement or life-hacks?

[eirslett]

There are 2 possible suggesions that don't involve ops teams:

1. Just use npm - it has improved a lot since yarn came out. (Unless you really need the yarn-specific features)
2. Download yarn and commit it into your git repository - it's a couple of MBs, but within reason. @AndreyEmelyanenko I think this would classify as a life hack?
