Could not find globally installed yarn

[ColinKrist]

tried workaround - https://github.com/jycouet/VSTSExtensions/issues/16 didn't work. Is yarn supported?

[elwynelwyn]

I notice the src has changed to not use yarn global at all, and force npx for the running of the tool: https://github.com/jycouet/VSTSExtensions/blob/master/renovateMe/buildtask/src/index.ts#L46

However in my own pipeline it is still running yarn global add (I still have the fix from #16 in place so it is working fine for me). I wonder if a new version of the task needs to be published so we can force our pipelines to use the npx version? @jycouet are you able to check please if the published task matches the latest source code?

[jycouet]

Yes, the source here is synchronized with what is published. The task should use npx now to get the renovate tool.

But inside renovate it's still using npm or yarn.

Here's logs from my pipeline - it's running task version 0.1.0 and still using the yarn global:

Any suggestions for getting myself onto the newer version of the task?

[jycouet]

That's really strange @elwynelwyn. On the marketplace it's 0.3.10 Did you try to uninstall and install it again?
