yarn config needs sudo on macos

[JCMais]

Orb version

1.1.0

What happened

Running yarn config set cache-folder ~/.cache/yarn now needs sudo. It's weird for it to ask for sudo since it should be installed for the current user.

This started happening after upgrading from 1.0.1 to 1.1.0 to get the fixes from #5

Expected behavior

Should run without sudo(?)

If that is expected please let me know.

So I just found that just a install needs sudo too, I don't think we should be running install with sudo:

yarn install --frozen-lockfile --cwd=.
^D��^D��yarn install v1.16.0

hmm, weird, it's certainly not installed with sudo.... we'll investigate, ty @JCMais

hmmm, i'm not able to reproduce @JCMais :

can you send a link to the job where you saw this ?

also, you might try something like this to fix :

yarnpkg/yarn#1806 (comment)

Running sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.config fixed the issue, kinda weird.

I'm closing this since I don't have time to dig into it or to check why it was happening.

@JCMais well, for now, I can easily add that line to the orb code, so you won't have to keep running it 🙂 thanks !
