Summary

Calling rush install sometimes causing this error:

ERROR: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open
'.../common/temp/<some_project>/node_modules/.modules.yaml'

where <some_project> is depended on via workspace: specifier by current project.

Repro steps

Not able to reproduce in a minimal repo, I can try again latter. But this happens most frequently when:

• The project is newly created (with the rush repo already created).
• The project has no dependency (in this case, adding a dummy dependency can solve this issue).

Details

• Creating .../common/temp/.../node_modules/ directory by mkdir -p before rush install solves the issue.
• Running rush install twice also solves the issue.
• The issue happened only several times, but each time it happens, retry rush install can always reproduce, both locally and on CI environment.
