Have this bug on yarn 0.17.8 , Node 6.9.1, Ubuntu.

$ sudo yarn global add gulp

Then as non-root user:

$ cd app; gulp
fs.js:640
  return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);
                 ^

Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/usr/local/share/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/arr-flatten/index.js'

    at require (internal/module.js:20:19)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/share/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/arr-diff/index.js:10:15)

Looks like #1344 was meant to fix this but only fixed the perrmissions on accessing the root package, not its dependencies. 😢

I do confirm the bug trying to yarn global add vue-cli and then vue init webpack myproject

After the upgrade to yarn 0.18.1, I don't have this issue anymore.
Edit: looks like the upgrade might fix it, but a fresh install still breaks for me on 0.18.1

kris-ellery · 2016-12-19T16:48:10Z

Same here when using Vagrant and installing globally.

Environment

ubuntu/trusty64: v20161214.0.0 
node: v6.9.2
yarn: v0.18.1

Error

fs.js:640
  return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);
                 ^

luke3butler · 2016-12-20T01:26:13Z

Looks like I spoke too soon. The upgrade may have fixed that particular installation, but a fresh install still has this issue.

PowerKiKi · 2016-12-20T05:43:43Z

Also seeing the bug with yarn global v0.18.1. A workaround would be to manually give read access to everybody with:

sudo chmod a+r -R /usr/local/share/.config/yarn/global/

iraklisg · 2016-12-20T09:48:23Z

I have to say that I tried to repeat the steps in my previous comment, after upgrading to yarn 0.18.1, i.e.

yarn --version //0.18.1
yarn global add vue-cli 
vue init webpack myproject

After the upgrade the commands run without a problem (no EACCES: permission error)

myfreax · 2016-12-29T04:36:11Z

thank you @PowerKiKi ,I solved it

hsz · 2017-02-13T13:27:02Z

I have tried with

yarn --version
0.19.1

The problem is still present. I have clean the cache and after fetching arr-flatten package - it's saved again with wrong permissions.

npm-array-unique also has this problem:

/home/tomcat/.cache/yarn$ ls -la * | grep "\-rwx\-\-\-\-\-\-" -B 5

PowerKiKi · 2017-03-20T06:10:32Z

Starting from scratch with yarn 0.21.3 and still getting this error.

It seems to me that there is enough people who reported this to consider the issue "confirmed" (and thus remove the "needs confirmation")

mknapik · 2017-03-24T16:57:53Z

The error still lingers in yarn 0.20.3.
I installed packages as root and got an error when running tests as a non-root.

@soredake Please add a reference to the fix if you confirm this is solved. Otherwise, please add some explanation of closure or reopen if it was a mistake.

bestander · 2017-05-30T09:14:06Z

If someone can add a repro step that would help a lot.
I think the failure is related to how Yarn is installed.

tfrijsewijk · 2017-06-08T15:14:01Z

@bestander I think you're right. I had the same problem. I had yarn installed through npm. I uninstalled yarn and gulp:
npm uninstall yarn gulp --global
I installed yarn using the recommended practices here (in my case apt-get): https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/#linux-tab (See how it mentions that installing yarn with npm is not recommended on the alternative tab.. I never knew that)

I then installed gulp 4 using yarn: sudo yarn global add gulp-cli

mbunge · 2017-10-12T12:18:05Z

This issue appears to me on OSX if yarn (0.23.1) has been already installed with brew brew install yarn and install yarn 1.x with npm npm i -g yarn. I removed yarn from npm npm -g remove yarn und run brew upgrade yarn

BYK · 2017-10-27T10:42:54Z

Closing since this should be resolved in the recent versions of Yarn. Feel free to reopen with a repro script if it is still broken.

lawrence-dass · 2018-01-07T11:40:59Z

brew install yarn --without-node

This is worked for me.
I had to override the installation but it worked.
