Land Yarn

[beheh]

Yarn is a new package manager from Facebook and Google: https://yarnpkg.com/. It's been more reliable and much faster on my development machine, and I hope to speed up build time like this, since dependency installation is a non-trivial amount of time spent every single time.

The only caveat is that Travis currently always will run npm install when it detects a package.json and I'd like a way to disable this: travis-ci/travis-ci#6713 (I've submitted a PR). We can override this behaviour.

We'll also have to install yarn to our internal build server, but that should be pretty straight forward.

[beheh]

Also, the install script from package.json is not run, which means we don't have typings or enums. That's being tracked though: yarnpkg/yarn#721 and PR at yarnpkg/yarn#800.

yarnpkg/yarn#800 has landed, waiting for the next yarn release.

Yarn 0.16 has been released, testing build infrastructure.

Urgh, and now yarn install --production is failing because of yarnpkg/yarn#761. Sad story.

More specifically typings install fails postinstall because the module wrappy does not exist. Yarn sees it as a devDependency, because jasmine#glob#inflight requires it (with Jasmine being devDependency), and therefore discards it. On the other hand it's required by gulp#orchestrator#end-of-stream#once (with gulp being normal dependency).

This was supposedly fixed with yarnpkg/yarn#1739, but this still fails as of Yarn 0.17.0.

@beheh where are we at on this? Is it still blocked on yarn?

[jleclanche]

It looks like the --production issues have been fixed in yarn 0.18.

[beheh]

Yep, looks fine. I'm personally not feeling to good right now, but I'll try and land this soon.

--production is still broken (seriously?). Once again fs-realpath (as a dependency of glob) is excluded, even though glob is required for development (jasmine, karma) and for production (gulp-less) installs:

Finally looking good with yarnpkg/yarn#2537, included in yarn 0.20.0.
