Yarn PnP cache folder resolution failed on Windows

[demigor]

Hi, I'm trying to active PnP mode for Yarn, but Esbuild (0.17.19) fails to resolve node modules. Windows OS. Here is the log snippet, demonstrating the issue:

Checking for package alias matches
    Failed to find any package alias matches

  No "browser" map found in directory "D:\\nitro.debug\\Nitro.Web.App\\src\\blocks\\benchmarks"

Last two lines show, that Esbuild failed to properly calculate the Yarn cache path (Failed to resolve "D:\C:\) If I move Yarn cache to drive D:, error looks similar Failed to resolve "D:\D:\

[evanw]

This problem is caused by Windows not supporting relative paths between drives. Yarn avoids this with a hack where they pretend that relative paths between drives are allowed, while esbuild doesn't do this. A workaround is to make sure everything in the build is on the same drive when using esbuild.

[demigor]

I moved Yarn cache to D: drive and it is still the same error. Just "D:\D:\...". Looks like path concatenation routine does not respect drive-letter rooted paths, bluntly contatenating them or so.

[evanw]

Can you provide a way to reproduce the issue? Specific instructions to follow or a repository with sample code would work.

I'm not sure whether this is the same with the original issue, here is my steps.

I had the same problem and I modified it by adding "enableGlobalCache: false" in ".yarnrc" file. you should attention you should have type="module" in the package.json file

[demigor]

Ironically, global cache was the main reason to enable Yarn PnP to avoid refetching of node-modules.

Turning it off is in fact just renaming node-modules folder to .yarn
