Hello,

you can try the solutions from #2808

[zetaraku]

Same here.

It seems that pm2 can't distinguish between file name and command.

[ohadcn]

have you tried

pm2 start yarn -- start

this is pm2 way of spawning a process with parameters

[dzlandis]

Running into this problem. Solution above did not fix the problem.

what error did you get?

Did you try unseting NODE_CHANNEL_FD before spawning yarn? (e,g: using a shell script?)

No I have not done that. The resource you provided seems to be referring to python related things. My program does not have any python code. I'm getting the same error as what this original issue shows:

$ pm2 start "yarn start"
[PM2][ERROR] Script not found: C:\Users\Joseph\Desktop\simple-server\yarn start

[dzlandis]

have you tried

pm2 start yarn -- start

this is pm2 way of spawning a process with parameters

It should be noted, when I tried this method, I got the following error:

[PM2] Starting C:\USERS\DZLAN\APPDATA\ROAMING\NPM\YARN.CMD in fork_mode (1 instance)
[PM2] Done.
