Wow! I was trying to file an issue because I encountered this issue and found my own issue that I'd filed earlier.

Is more info required to fix this?
Here's a package.json to reproduce this:

{
  "name": "test",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "chimp": "^0.48.0"
  }
}

@dheerajbhaskar did you solve the problem? Same issue here...

Just tried it on my machine and it installs fine with the package.json posted above

OS: MacOS Sierra
node 8.1.2
yarn 0.24.6

[dheerajbhaskar]

@marvinhagemeister this is am issue on windows.

@dmr nope, just using npm for now. Was too much trouble using yarn. Also npm now has lock file feature now and is faster than before I think

[dmr]

My problem was solved by removing node_modules, uninstalling node, reinstalling everything.

[dheerajbhaskar]

Thanks for the update @dmr

I think I'm going to sit this one out. This way too many hoops to be worth it. I can just do npm installand be done with it.

I've reported the bug because I care for the project

This is also an issue on our CI servers, using Node 8.1.4, Npm 5.2.0, yarn 0.27.5
We've had to roll back to node v6.3.1 and npm 3.9.5 to get it working again as a workaround...

[theandrewlane]

I'm running into the same issue on Node 8.1.4 and Yarn 0.27.5 on Win 7 Enterprise. Following @dmr's recommendation, hopefully that resolves the node fibers/gyp issue.

UPDATE: Uninstalled Yarn & Node, removed /node-modules, node cache, and yarn cache. Reinstalled Node 8.1.4 and Yarn 0.28.1. No issues.

Same problem here on a Win10 VirtualBox. It works on OS X. Also, no issues when using npm on Windows.

Steps to reproduce:

mkdir foo && cd foo && yarn init -y && yarn add fibers && yarn

Full output:

$ npm --version && node --version && yarn --version && python --version

Does anyone know what could be the root of the problem? I could try to look into it if someone could give me pointers. Thanks in advance!

I have wiped yarn, and installed it (v0.27.5) via choco (it comes with Node.js v8.2.1
and npm 5.3.0). After that, I was able to use yarn to install fibers.

yarn still fails to install fibers/node-gyp when using the latest stable node v9.10.1.

To fix that, you need to temporarily downgrade node to v6.11.5 using as root n 6.11.5.

This is not great 👎

Closing as an external issue, there is nothing actionable on Yarn's side here.
