ember-cli module directory emptied of files

See original GitHub issue

When using a yarn.lock but without bower as a dependency in package.json, the node_modules/ember-cli/ is emptied of files.

Failed build with error: https://circleci.com/gh/Vestorly/torii/614
Successful build: https://circleci.com/gh/Vestorly/torii/615
Only change to fix was adding bower to package.json: https://github.com/Vestorly/torii/pull/382/commits/43d9737b617a5a555b5d325e23fe7ad23961997f

Currently when yarn is detected ember-try attempts to use it for most operations. An exception is that if bower is not a dependency, npm is used to install that dependency. I presume there is some negative interaction between the two systems that causes the files to be deleted.

FWIW, I’ve been fighting with this issue today as well. I believe that it only happens when using npm@5 (in my case downgrading to npm@4 resolved the error cannot find module 'ember-cli').

@kategengler - Agreed. Lets use global bower, and error if not present and bower key in config is present.
