SyntaxError: Unexpected string when running electron-builder install-app-deps with yarn@berry

• Version: 22.7.0

• Electron Version: 8.2.5
• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current

• Target: default target

I tried to integrate yarn2 (yarn@berry). Our repo contains an Electron App with sqlite3 as a dependency, that get “built” by node-pre-gyp when building the app. Whenn electron-builder tries to rebuild the native dependencies, the following error is thrown:

    • electron-builder  version=22.7.0
    • rebuilding native dependencies  dependencies=sqlite3@4.2.0 platform=linux arch=x64
    • rebuilding native dependency  name=sqlite3 version=4.2.0
    ⨯ cannot execute  cause=exit status 1

A minimal Reproduction can be found here: https://github.com/Thomb89/electron-builder-yarn2

This error can be reproduced in the docker image (i used electronuserland/builder:wine) with the following steps:

• docker run -it electronuserland/builder:wine /bin/bash
• npm i -g yarn@berry
• git clone https://github.com/Thomb89/electron-builder-yarn2.git
• cd electron-builder-yarn2
• yarn
• yarn electron-builder install-app-deps

While yarn@berry is still not released (current version is 2.0.0-rc.27), will it be fully supported in the future?

I’m still experiencing this, worth keeping open

I just saw this today, yarn 3.1.1, electron-builder 22.10.5.

nodeLinker is node-modules.
