Integrated terminal can't see global npm packages

Type: Bug

I can't run any globally installed npm packages (like yarn) in the vscode integrated powershell terminal. That's also a reason why all my attempts to run npm scripts from the package.json fail.

Every time this error:

yarn : The term 'yarn' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable progr
am. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try aga
in.
At line:1 char:1
+ yarn --version
+ ~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (yarn:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

The most interesting part: if I try to do the same somewhere outside of vscode (eg windows terminal), it works fine. Additionally, an hour ago yarn worked inside vscode, and I don't remember anything, that could affect it.
