yarn install issue

[oliviertassinari]

I have noticed the following behaviour trying to install wordpos with yarn.

During the first install

• the post install script is triggered, populating wordnet-db fast index

During a consecutive, yarn thing get messy

• yarn see that the wordnet-db folder changed and reset it to his original state. However, as wordpos is still the same, his postinstall script isn't call.
• At that point, wordpos can't no longer be used as missing the fast index.

I use the following fix for now in the package on userspace.

package.json

  "postinstall": "cd node_modules/wordpos && yarn postinstall"`

However, we lose ~1s for each yarn interaction, not great

Hmm.. ran into this too. After running your script seeing ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir '/dict'.

Any movement on this? Still having this issue and yarn only seems to be growing in popularity. The postinstall fix is a fine temp one, but is definitely a performance hit.

I can't reproduce with latest yarn:

~/dev/tmp/wordpos-yarn-test$ yarn

Please try updating yarn.

@moos Did you run yarn twice?

[moos]

Yes -- I did. I was able to repro with earlier version of yarn, but not with latest.

~~Can confirm that this is fixed in yarn>1.9.4. Thanks for checking this @moos

Take it back. Just added a package and got a no such file or directory /node_modules/wordnet-db/dict/fast-index.noun.json'. Adding back the post install line got me back up and running
