Environment

  current version of create-react-app: 4.0.0
  running from C:\Users\milic\AppData\Local\Yarn\Data\global\node_modules\create-react-app

  System:
    OS: Windows 10 10.0.19041

    react: ^17.0.1 => 17.0.1
    react-dom: ^17.0.1 => 17.0.1
    react-scripts: 4.0.0 => 4.0.0
  npmGlobalPackages:
    create-react-app: Not Found

Steps to reproduce

yarn create react-app just-app --template typescript
cd just-app
npm install -g yarn
yarn set version berry
git add .
git commit -m "yarn version set to berry"
# at this point I tried to remove node_modules and yarn.lock but in vain
yarn install

Expected behavior

Yarn migrates to the version berry, node_modules go to .yarn/cache.

Actual behavior

The last command (yarn install) fails with the following output:

➤ YN0000: ┌ Fetch step
➤ YN0013: │ iferr@npm:0.1.5 can't be found in the cache and will be fetched from the remote registry
...
➤ YN0066: │ fsevents@patch:fsevents@npm%3A2.2.0#builtin<compat/fsevents>::version=2.2.0&hash=127e8e: Cannot apply hunk #1 (set enableInlineHunks for details)
...
➤ YN0000: └ Completed in 17s 59ms
➤ YN0000: Failed with errors in 36s 813ms

Possible workaround

I tried to create a berry structure from the beginning:

# create a higher-level directory
cd test
yarn set version berry

# this way CRA creates a nested directory and inherits the yarn version collecting the dependencies in `.yarn`
yarn create react-app just-app --template typescript
cd just-app

# but created this way, CRA does not start due to https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues/9446
yarn start

#  -- Module not found: Your application tried to access react-refresh
