yarn add grpc throws error [0.17.0]

I get the following error:

Surprisingly this works with npm install

Oddly enough, if you run yarn add grpc again, it works from then on.

Removing ~/.cache/yarn will cause the issue to occur again the next time you try to run yarn add grpc.

I suspect yarn might not be properly handling bundledDependencies on the first-run, as grpc includes node-pre-gyp by way of bundledDepdencies.

[jscinoz]

Actually, turns out grpc isn't properly installed even after the second run. Yarn thinks it is and completes successfully but the native module that failed to build due to the error in the original post isn't present.

[rajatkumar]

Exactly, yarn also needs a mechanism to identify if a module was successfully installed.

[Zhomart]

I've installed latest yarn using $ npm install --silent -g [email protected] and force installed packages $ yarn install --force. It worked for me.

[bestander]

Can't reproduce this on latest either

[bestander]

Yeah, I can confirm that this was broken in 0.17.0 but works in 0.17.3

Still getting this error:

This is also after I removed /node_modules completely and tried a fresh install with yarn install --force

If I run npm rebuild afterwards, then GRPC installs properly.

@lostpebble, does yarn cache clean help?

[lostpebble]

I tried deleting node_modules, ran yarn cache clean and then yarn, but it failed in exactly the same way.

Then on top of that, I tried yarn cache clean, and running yarn install --force, and I got a completely different error this time:

yarn install v0.17.9

@Google-Cloud - could it be related to scoped packages issue?
We solved it in master but haven't cherry-picked it in 0.17.
@lostpebble, can you try on master branch build https://ci.appveyor.com/project/kittens/yarn/build/1055/job/jwqih112xeknrm87/artifacts?

[lostpebble]

I had a lot of time sensitive work to do so I moved back to NPM for a while on my project to get that done. But I really want to use yarn, and I'm now using version 0.19.1 (installed with the lastest .msi) and I'm still getting the same error, trying out the same things.

This is the script that is specifically causing the problem I think (the install script for the grpc package):

"install": "node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build",

Still causing this error on Windows environment:

But using npm rebuild works fine, has no problem running the install scripts successfully, with the output:

D:\Dev\_Projects\Vibescout\vibescout-web-v3-yarn>npm rebuild

> [email protected] install D:\Dev\_Projects\Vibescout\vibescout-web-v3-yarn\node_modules\grpc
> node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

[grpc] Success: "D:\Dev\_Projects\Vibescout\vibescout-web-v3-yarn\node_modules\grpc\src\node\extension_binary\grpc_node.node" is installed via remote

EDIT:

I get the feeling this may be associated with this problem with relative paths on Windows: #1729

[bestander]

Yeah, I can reproduce this on Windows.
I'll try to have a look now

[bestander]

Let's track the '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command, issue in #1729
