Yarn Berry Errors with record_update_job_error; Equivalent Project Runs Well on Github

[epicstar]

Describe the bug

As of 3 weeks ago, every update using V2 of the Dependabot pipeline runner in Azure Devops gives us this error in our yarn v4 monorepo code:

{"data":{"error-type":"dependency_file_not_resolvable","error-details":{"message":"Error while loading \".yarnrc.yml\"."}},"type":"record_update_job_error"}

For a more detailed sample snippet:

If running this project with the exact code in Github, the code runs successfully.

Repository

https://github.com/epicstar/dependabot-yarn-test/

I have given you the repo in Github to prove it works fine on Github.

However, because our organization is private, I cannot give you the Azure Devops version of the code. Rest assured, the code is the exact same minus blanking out the githubConnection property in the Azure Devops pipeline.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Please see README of https://github.com/epicstar/dependabot-yarn-test to run in Azure Devops.

You will have to push this repo there. The Azure Pipeline YAML should be in the given repository.

Expected behavior

It should be like the Github repo outputs:

• PRs filled out correctly
• GIthub Logs showing that the run was successful

Logs and screenshots

In Azure:

Extension (please complete the following information):

• Host: Azure DevOps (ubuntu-latest)
• Version 2.39.1099

Server (please complete the following information):

• Region US East
• Agent Version: 4.248.0
• Version 20241117.1.0 (Image Version)

Logs TBD SOON

Additional context

We spotted this problem in our original repo that was occurring on our private Azure Artifacts version of NPM Registry; however, the problem is also happening on the standard public NPM Registry.

We had to move to V2 from V1 because we had problems with running the pipeline extension with our Private Azure Artifacts (upstream).

In addition, #1441 is not an issue on Dependabot as Dependabot on Github runs this repo in 16 minutes, as opposed to 1 hour 10 minutes.

@epicstar thanks for the reproduction repo; I will attempt to reproduce this in DevOps and see what is going on.

@rhyskoedijk Here's a link to the logs. The logs are so big I had to give you the files through OneDrive :(

Still not sure why the yarnrc yaml can't be read. My initial uneducated hunch is that it is accidentally being ignored by the docker container.

I tested on Github vs. DevOps as well and am seeing the same behavior. Mine finishes in about 4 minutes on github but times out on DevOps.
