Using Yarn 2 (Berry) on App Platform deployments

Posted on March 3, 2021

I’m trying to deploy a Node.js app to App Platform (great product by the way) using the current version of yarn. I bootstrapped the repository using yarn set version berry.

The deployment installs yarn version 1.22.10 (which should be fine, since the yarnrc.yml points to the correct yarn binary). When it comes to installing the dependencies, the deployment uses a flag that is no longer supported: --network-timeout.

Below is the relevant section of the build log:

Is it planned to support the current version of yarn on the App Platform?

Hi there,

Just came across this question and decided to post an update to anytone who comes across this in the future.

A new buildpack has been released recently with Ubuntu 22 which should contain all the LTS versions.

You can follow the steps here on how to upgrade or downgrade your buildpacks here:
