Yarn 3 YN0001- Error while persisting

I’m getting YN0001- Error while persisting.... on windows when I run yarn install . Version Yarn 3.2.3

It occurs during the linking process. I’m using node-modules linker.

I haven’t found any solution for this issue on the internet .

Okay, we were able to reproduce your issue. The verdict is: this is a bug in json-schema-library@7.2.0, they should not publish filenames with : as they are invalid on Windows. Moreover they seem to not mean publishing this file (profiles\develop-doValidations-2022-09-28 15:37:34.txt) at all, as it is generated and probably not used by their package at all. Closing as external bug.

I can reproduce on Windows with the following:

cd $(mktemp -d)
yarn init -2
yarn set version 3.2.3
yarn config set nodeLinker node-modules
yarn add json-schema-library@7.2.0

The issue is that json-schema-library@7.2.0 contains filenames with reserved characters which aren’t allowed on Windows, specifically the : (colon). https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file#naming-conventions:~:text=except for the,%3A (colon)
