Question

Turborepo deployment failing due to packagemanager

I’m a using a turporepo setup which contains two apps:

  • apps/cms (Strapi CMS with a PG DB)
  • apps/web (Astro WebApp)

Every time we try to deploy them, we are getting an error associated with yarn as the node buildpack uses yarn 1.22.22 by default, it suggests we need to run corepack enable which we have tried to trigger by adding it within the build commands but still does not work.

How could I fix this issue?

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

You can customize the Yarn version used by specifying the version in the engines section of your package.json:

{
  "engines": {
    "yarn": "^0.14.0"
  }
}

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/reference/buildpacks/nodejs/

As far as I can see the latest version of Yarn is actually 1.22.22:

https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/releases

Have you tried changing the version of yarn in your packageManager definition to the latest one to see if it helps?

Best,

Bobby
