Create react app with yarn 2 results in compile time error

[wdfinch]

Describe the bug

Running create react app with yarn 2 as the package manager results in an app that cannot be started. The specific error that occurs is:

'Failed to load config "react-app" to extend from.'

The current yarn version being used is 2.4.1.

Had a same issue, it works if you add eslint-config-react-app dependency in your project

Hi @kamthamc thanks for the reply. Yes, I am aware of this workaround. However, I would still consider this an open issue since the user should not need to need to add an extra dependency in order to make this work. Create react app should build a startable app regardless of the package manager we use.

I'm having the same issue with Yarn v.2.4.1

I created the app using the global install of Yarn 1.22.10, then I changed to Yarn 2.4.1 and the same error appeared :(

I'm using Yarn 3.1.0 and adding these lines to .yarnrc.yml

packageExtensions:
  react-scripts@*:
    peerDependencies:
      eslint-config-react-app: "*"

and yarn add -D eslint-config-react-app fix it for me.

Same issue with Yarn 3.2.0.

yarn dlx create-react-app my-app --template typescript
cd my-app
yarn start

Any update on this?

[joelparkerhenderson]

Update from my end: because of the lack of response by Facebook and the maintainers of React and create-react-app, on this issue and a few others, we decided to cancel React from our projects, cancel Yarn from our projects, and migrate to SvelteKit and PNPM. So far Svelte and PNPM have performed very well for us. Of course YMMV, use the right tools for your own needs, etc.
