Describe the Bug

Hello. I am reporting you this issue after talking to @aFuzzyBear on Discord. link-to-thread

I would love to get Astro working with Yarn v3 (Berry). But when using the following steps:

• yarn set version berry
• yarn create astro

This wil resolve in the following error:

Error: chalk tried to access #ansi-styles, but it isn't declared in its dependencies; this makes the require call ambiguous and unsound.

Any ideas?

You need to use shamfully-hoist with yarn: https://github.com/withastro/docs/blob/edea9edff2119a0ac11365e99432b4cd205effaa/.npmrc

Thanks, but tried before I created the issue. It doesn't make a difference. But maybe I am placing the file in the wrong location. What should I do with the file exactly?

@MartijnHarmenzon put it in the root of your project before calling yarn install. You probably want to remove your node_modules folder.

[MartijnHarmenzon]

@matthewp Unfortunately it did not work. I did the following steps:

• create folder
• add .npmrc file
• yarn init -2
• yarn install
• yarn create astro

The above results in the same errors.

Update.. @aFuzzyBear @matthewp

When adding the follwing to the .yarnrc.yml file as per this article

nodeLinker: pnpm
pnpMode: loose

Astro is able to run the astro create.

But when trying to run yarn dev, in the my-astro-site folder, it will give the following error.

The project in E:\dev\playground\astro-tailwind-alpine-v2\frontend12\package.json doesn't seem to have been installed - running an install there might help

Running the yarn install, as suggested, doesn't help. Any ideas?

[matthewp]

I'm not sure I can help any more, unfortunately. If you figure it out let us know and we'll update the documentation.

fwiw I would recommend not using Yarn any more. pnpm provides similar features but is more compatible with the ecosystem.

Hi @MartijnHarmenzon , right now the most suitable solution for getting Astro to work for Berry is to use node_modules for linking:

nodeLinker: node-modules

Since we need shamefully-hoist in .npmrc, that indicated something might be using other node modules directly from node_modules/ directory, hence why Yarn PnP is not working (just a wild guess).

We've turned this into a docs issue, thanks for the suggestion @retronav! Going to track this further there: withastro/docs#700
