Install fails when using yarn workspaces

[OliverJAsh]

When using yarn workspaces to install this package, I get an error. This is similar to https://github.com/unicode-org/full-icu-npm/issues/9.

$ yarn workspace server add full-icu

As a workaround, if I cd to the workspace and run:

yarn add full-icu

it works.

I have not used workspaces. Probably needs a different way to detect yarn.

With workspaces, the monorepo only has a single lockfile, not sure if that is the problem though? But the problem seems yarn related…

Still having the same issue on yarn add -D full-icu:

yarn 2 and workspaces is a completely different world in some ways. For example, the node_modules folder is largely gone.. only necessary for certain packages that are not yet converted to work with yarn 2 world.. most notably, from my understanding full-icu is relying on postinstall and yarn 2 has issues with it (https://yarnpkg.com/advanced/lifecycle-scripts#a-note-about-postinstall). We are probably going to stop using full-icu unfortunately.. I've been mulling it over about how to leverage it without having to choose between the 2. My current thought was to use full-icu in the environment but not as part of my package.json install probably. It could be in a parent package outside the workspace maybe.. tbd...

fixed by https://github.com/nodejs/full-icu-npm/issues/38 no longer trying to do a sub install
