Doesn't look to work with yarn

[felipenmoura]

When using yarn to install packages, it is not listing the dependencies. Actually, it says there are not even plugins installed. I had to install them all using npm for them to finally appear.

Hey @felipenmoura I assume you're referring to the package json plugin right? Do you have a yarn.lock in the root of your folder? this is what that plugin uses to detect if you're using yarn or not Also try running yarn install and then restart webdash.. does it work?

Hi. Well, actually, no plugins appeared at all. It was like if I hadn't installed any. I believe the problem was because I had both package-json.lock and yarn.lock. I added the plugins using yarn, but webdash probably only looked at the package.json (what makes sense, I believe). Then, when I installed the same plugins again, but using npm, they all appeared in the screen.

Alright now I understand what's wrong.. I thought the issue was with webdash-package-json but it turns out it's just webdash. So can you please try the following:

Try in a new project or in the same project, remove webdash and try from scratch:

Go to webdash.xyz and click on Switch to yarn and then install webdash and its plugins using yarn Does it work? If not, please check if your package.json contains the new webdash plugins (it should contain them even if you used yarn) Thanks!

Hi. Thanks, but still, something is just weird.

I did what you asked: Installed everything in a clean directory using yarn And it worked :)

Then, I installed a dependency using npm (like npm install chalk for example). And the command yarn webdash serv stoped working. I had to install something using yarn again for it to start working again.

Well, anyways, I think the right thing here is to be concise and install everything using the same tool, but it might be interesting for you to have it in mind, in case there is indeed some weird behave related to it ;)

Can you send me a screenshot of when you say it "stopped working" please? this could be by design from npm/yarn but I'm not exactly sure what's going on Thanks!

[felipenmoura]

Sorry for not being clear about it. It doesn't even start the service, with an error message saying that webdash doesn't exist (looks like npm cannot find it in the _nodemodules)

Alright thanks! I'll close this issue for now since as you said it's not a good idea to use a mix of both In case this issue happens with someone else, I can check if there's a potential fix for it
