'bash: yarn: command not found' error

Support
1

I’m having a build issue with my personal website.

Here’s the full build log with the error.
It says yarn: command not found, Command failed with exit code 127: yarn build.
I’m not sure why yarn build command is the problem, but it works fine on my local terminal and that’s the command I use normally.
publish: /opt/build/repo/build >> I’m also not sure about this line since there is no opt folder or repo file in my file or in netlify.toml at all.

I’ve looked into some other topics but none of the solution helped.
I’d really appreciate if anyone can give a hand on this!!!

Does your repo have a yarn.lock file?

3

Yes there is one. I also tried deleting node modules and yarn.lock and reinstalling everything as someone suggested in the similar question.

4

could you post your package.json file please?

Here it is! thanks for taking the time :slight_smile:

So the problem is here that you are telling Netlify to run the command “yarn build” but:

  "scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "test": "react-scripts test --env=jsdom",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject",
    "predeploy": "npm run build",
    "deploy": "gh-pages -d build"
  },

yarn is only available in our build environment when a yarn.lock file exists in the root of your repo (or in the base directory, if set), OR if you add it in package.json and THAT file exists in the root of your repo (or in the base directory, if set)

You might also find this generic debugging information useful.

This Support Guide contains a ton of useful debugging tips.

If you want to use any yarn command in your build process then included yarn.lock in your root directory. Even empty file of yarn.lock will work fine.
