"yarn global list" doesn't list globally installed packages that don't have binaries

[garyking]

When running yarn global list, it doesn't list globally installed packages that don't have binaries installed, such as eslint-config-airbnb-base.

Hi @garyking ! Thanks for filing an issue - would you mind following the issue template so we have steps to reproduce?

Bug

What is the current behavior? When I run yarn global list, packages like eslint-config-airbnb-base don't appear. Perhaps because it doesn't have any binaries associated with it?

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

Run yarn global list to show all globally installed packages.

What is the expected behavior? eslint-config-airbnb-base and all other globally installed packages should appear.

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version. Yarn 1.6.0. Mac OS X 10.13.3.

Is there a workaround for this?

EDIT: Running cat `yarn global dir`/package.json should list globally-installed dependencies regardless of whether they have binaries or not.

When I run yarn list I do get a list of the packages I have installed globally...

I second this: Having only global packages with binaries in yarn global list is quite annoying. Any update on this?

Same here, yarn global list lists only packages that have binaries

npm list -g can't find react-native-cli , but open /usr/local/lib/node_modules can see react-native-cli
