yarn install fails silently inside docker container behind a corporate proxy

[lmcarreiro]

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

It is a bug

What is the current behavior?
It fails silently with exit code 0

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

1. Download the package.json and yarn.lock from this gist

2. Create a Dockerfile with this content:

FROM node:10.15.0
COPY . .
RUN yarn install

3. Run docker build .

I ran it behind a corporate proxy, without passing the build environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy. It fails silently in the step 2 of the install with no error message and exit code zero.

If I run docker build . --build-arg http_proxy=http://user:pass@proxy-host:port --build-arg https_proxy=http://user:pass@proxy-host:port it works fine.

What is the expected behavior?
An error message saying that some http request failed.

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.
OS, node and yarn version are from the official docker image node:10.15.0:

I saw an "info" message just one time:

Tried again many times and this messege never happened again:

Tried the same in node:10.5 instead of node:10.15 image, the yarn version was 1.7.0 instead of 1.12.3, and it does show error messages:

root@b9c1c6edafdb:/app# yarn install
yarn install v1.7.0
(node:29) [DEP0005] DeprecationWarning: Buffer() is deprecated due to security and usability issues. Please use the Buffer.alloc(), Buffer.allocUnsafe(), or Buffer.from() methods instead.

Version 1.12.3 is not handling the error like it was used to.

I tested in node:latest that has the yarn 1.13.0 and it doesn't too, the behavior is the same as node:10.15 image (with yarn 1.12.3)

Hello @lmcarreiro
I saw the same error, but I used proxy. I could not add a proxy command
yarn set proxy http://example-proxy:8080

it works like this
yarn install --proxy http://example-proxy:8080

Looks quite similar to #6915. I believe it's a bug since yarn 1.11.0, and here's my fix: #6968.

Thanks @yan12125 - confirmed this is fixed in node:11-alpine.

[lmcarreiro]

Tried in node:12 with yarn 1.16.0 and it is fixed.
