install-yarn fails stating sudo command not found

[aquacode]

Orb version:

5.2.0

What happened:

I'm using node-orb 5.2.0 on a CircleCI Windows image based on the Orb circleci/windows version 2.2.0

I'm using the following config:

manage-node-npm: description: "Install node and yarn". steps: - node/install: install-yarn: true. node-version: "14.18.0".

Expected behavior:

install-yarn should succeed but instead I see the following output:

Latest version of Yarn is 1.22.21
Checking if YARN is already installed...

Something went wrong; the specified version of Yarn could not be installed

Additional Information:

This used to work and suddenly it isn't

This orb is not fully compatible with windows, so it is trying to install using linux commands.
Fortunately the windows images come with node installed, so you can take advantage of corepack to install yarn.
Just add a new step before the install command, and run corepack enable. With this, yarn will be installed so the command won't try to reinstall and fail.

The update for your configuration would be like this:

  manage-node-npm:
    steps:
      - run: corepack enable
      - node/install:
          install-yarn: true
          node-version: "14.18.0"
