Incompatible option for yarn v2

[psydvl]

Description: ionic start command broken with Yarn v2 (aka berry).

Steps to Reproduce:

$ yarn set version berry
$ echo n | ionic start Test blank --type=angular

Or even:

$ yarn set version berry
$ echo n | yarn dlx -p @ionic/cli ionic start Test blank --type=angular

Output:

> yarn install --non-interactive
Unknown Syntax Error: Unsupported option name ("--non-interactive").

$ yarn install [--json] [--immutable] [--immutable-cache] [--check-cache] [--inline-builds]
[ERROR] An error occurred while running subprocess yarn.
        
        yarn install --non-interactive exited with exit code 1.
        
        Re-running this command with the --verbose flag may provide more
        information.

My ionic info:

I just ran into this issue as well. Is there a workaround or is the Ionic cli currently unusable with Yarn Berry?

In case it helps anyone, I got a workaround going by temporarily changing the package manager back to npm in ~/.ionic/config.json, then running ionic capacitor add ios to add the iOS project. After that, I switched back to yarn and ran yarn install in the app directory (which removed the node modules folder). I was not able to run ionic capacitor open ios after that, but yarn capacitor open ios seems to work. That made me wonder if running yarn capacitor add ios would have worked, but I'm past that now :)

-- UPDATE -- Turns out, my original approach didn't work because it seemed to use Capacitor v2 to create the iOS project, which didn't work because it was expecting files to be in the node_modules folder, which doesn't exist. My package.json file had Capacitor v3 listed, which doesn't use npm packages for native files. So I removed the iOS folder created by my original command and ran yarn capacitor add ios and that worked: I was able to open the project in Xcode and was able to build and run it in the simulator. Whew...

So, it seems nobody care about yarn berry, if you are facing this problem, simply create a patch file on .yarn/patches/@ionic-cli-npm-6.20.1-53fb01ed2a.patch, the content should be:

diff --git a/lib/utils/npm.js b/lib/utils/npm.js

             if (options.global) { // yarn installs packages globally under the 'global' prefix, instead of having a flag
                 installerArgs.push('global');
             }

Then, change your version code of @ionic/cli in package.json with: patch:@ionic/cli@npm:6.20.1#.yarn/patches/@ionic-cli-npm-6.20.1-53fb01ed2a.patch.

run yarn to apply the patch, your @ionic/cli will play well with Yarn Berry, just like a magic.

Good luck and have a nice day.
