Stopped working with `yarn`

[nfantone]

While having the following scripts on package.json:

    "clean": "rimraf es lib dist",
    "build:es": "cross-env BABEL_ENV=es babel src/ --out-dir es",
    "build:cjs": "cross-env BABEL_ENV=commonjs babel src --out-dir lib",
    "build:umd": "rollup -c",
    "build": "npm-run-all clean --parallel build:*",

running npm run build works fine and does exactly what is expected. Using yarn, however, fails with a bunch of exceptions.

yarn run v1.22.10

Interestingly, this only seems to happen if scripts include run-s, run-p or npm-run-all calls. For instance, running simply yarn clean (which invokes rimraf) works, but running yarn run-s clean fails with the same exception shown above.

Using:

❯ node -v
v14.15.4

❯ yarn -v
1.22.10

❯ npm -v
7.4.0

It's due to the glob pattern. Yarn is expanding the glob and not sending it to npm-run-all. If you wrap the glob in quotes, it should work.

    "build": "npm-run-all clean --parallel 'build:*'",

@TreTuna It's been a while since I posted this, so I cannot truly confirm what you're saying. But judging from my original comments, that wouldn't explain why yarn run-s clean (which does not set any glob patterns) doesn't work.

Also, the issue you're pointing at is related to yarn v2. My issue is reproducible in 1.22.10.

The error is very similar to mine, except that I'm getting it with [email protected] (that is, without yarn at all), but on [email protected] it works fine:

$ npm --version

$ npm run build:cat

> [email protected] build:cat
> cd src/uu/cat && wasm-pack build && npx pkg2wef

# ...executes successfully

$ npx npm-run-all build:cat

FWIW, the repo is public: https://gitlab.com/wubix-crates/coreutils (note that if you try to execute npm run build, it's going to compile Rust code to WASM, so for reproduction getting an error like wasm-pack: command not found is enough)

I ran into this issue with Yarn Classic (v1) and the workaround was to downgrade from npm v7 to npm v6:

npm i -g npm@6

[jamesrweb]

@petermikitsh worked for me too, any idea why the downgrade is even a solution though?

change from

"build": "npm-run-all clean --parallel build:*",

to

"build": "npm-run-all clean --parallel 'build:*'",
