[BUG]Cannot add global nodemon with yarn

[dsngo]

I am using the latest stable version of yarn 0.24.6 for windows
Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

Recently, I used yarn to install nodemon on my windows 10x64,

What is the current behavior?
$ yarn add global nodemon yarn add v0.24.6 [1/4] Resolving packages... [2/4] Fetching packages... warning fsevents@1.1.1: The platform "win32" is incompatible with this module. info "fsevents@1.1.1" is an optional dependency and failed compatibility check. Excluding it from installation. [3/4] Linking dependencies... [4/4] Building fresh packages... success Saved lockfile. success Saved 143 new dependencies.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

1. Install yarn.
2. Open bash, type: yarn add global nodemon
3. nodemon index.js.
4. bash: command not found.

What is the expected behavior?
I expected it would have install nodemon globally like npm, but apparently it isn't.
I have tried to remove the nodemon package with yarn remove global nodemon and installed it again but nothing changed.
The package works normally with npm method.
Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

Hi, we're having issues with this version of yarn, 0.24.6, and nodemon also. Reverting back to 0.24.4 solves the problem, but otherwise yarn cannot find nodemon.

With the exact same package.json and code, we experience the following:

0.24.6

/app # yarn run serve
yarn run v0.24.6
$ nodemon ./server.js
sh: nodemon: not found
error Command failed with exit code 127.
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/run for documentation about this command.

0.24.4

/app # yarn run serve
yarn run v0.24.4
$ nodemon ./server.js
[nodemon] 1.11.0
[nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`
[nodemon] watching: *.*
[nodemon] starting `node ./server.js`
Vault UI listening on: 8000

Reference:

• Latest docker image does not start djenriquez/vault-ui#128
• package.json

You need to add yarn global bin to your PATH.

@djenriquez, there are no changes between 0.24.4 and 0.24.6 that touch global or path https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/commits/0.24-stable.

Closing due to inactivity.

Like what @bestander said add yarn/bin to your system PATH, If you are planning to migrate from NPM to Yarn, make sure to add its path to the System variables to avoid any future error i.e 'name' not recognized

I'd like to reopen this issue, I'm still having this problem. My yarn global bin directory is certainly in my PATH. I'm on macOS using zsh.

$ yarn global bin
/usr/local/bin

$ echo $PATH
/Users/andrew/.virtualenvs/cdt/bin:/Users/andrew/.bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:...
# shortened for brevity
# note /usr/local/bin is the third item

$ yarn global add nodemon
