Installation with yarn fails

[kdiehl]

The install scripts are not triggered when installed using yarn.

Additionally, the build seems not to run properly using yarn. There are missing dependencies for example.

After switching to npm everything works fine.

Is this known?

[EddyVerbruggen]

I guess.. I've never used yarn. Do you have ideas on how to add support?

[kdiehl]

Not really. But I would assume that you are using deprecated features or something that are not supported in yarn to run scripts.

Typically, yarn works identical to npm.

Sadly, I don't really know how and what you are calling under the hood.

Maybe you can investigate a bit and in the meantime add a mention to the readme.

I'll leave this open for others to chime in then. Thx.

[kdiehl]

I found that the problem seems to only affect installation.

cross-reference:

• Firebase Analytics is listed as missing dependency #1416
• Make it possible tns to use Yarn as the package manager NativeScript/nativescript-cli#2737

[n0mer]

yarn is supported by {N} since v5.1: https://docs.nativescript.org/tooling/docs-cli/general/package-manager-set

@kdiehl here is a relevant snippet, to support your point:
