Cypress app gets not installed when dependency is added using yarn

See original GitHub issue

Operating System: OSX 10.12.6
Cypress Version: 0.20
Browser Version: n/a

Is this a Feature or Bug?

Bug

Current behavior:

I already have a working Cypress project and I upgraded to 0.20 by reinstalling it locally using yarn

$ yarn add -D cypress

Calling npm cypress:open (= ./node_modules/.bin/cypress open) gives the error that Cypress is not installed yet. I have to install Cypress manually by calling ./node_modules/.bin/cypress install.

Desired behavior:

I want cypress install to trigger automatically after adding with yarn so that it can be opened immediately.

@luhmann that error appears to be coming from our old CLI tools which have been deprecated / removed.

Please uninstall them with npm uninstall -g cypress-cli

There’s no reason to ever use that package again.

I’m having the same issue.

Node: 8.6.0 Yarn: 1.1.0 (latest)

Installing via NPM is fine, but with yarn the node index.js --exec install fails

Output:
node_modules/cypress/node_modules/chalk/index.js:66
ansiStyles.color.closeRe = new RegExp(escapeStringRegexp(ansiStyles.color.close), 'g');
                                                                         ^
