Docker build failed to update nodejs12.x with error in yarn to be installed globally

[NirajCricket]

I am running a nodejs upgrade to 14.x, received yarn install globall error in docker build.

My Issue:
I am seeing error when one of the docker step to install yarn globally errored.

I am using Docker, and can able to install yarn globally in my local.

npm ERR! dest /usr/local/bin/yarn
npm ERR! errno -17
npm ERR! EEXIST: file already exists, symlink '../lib/node_modules/yarn/bin/yarn.js' -> '/usr/local/bin/yarn'

The command '/bin/sh -c npm install yarn -g' returned a non-zero code: 239

I am running current Docker version:
Docker version 18.09.2, build 6247962

Environment

• Node Version: 12.14.1
• Yarn v1 Version: 1.10.1
• OS and version: Windows/Linux

Solution : followed steps:

Install Yarn globally

Runs after package.json is copied to ensure we run the latest version of Yarn on dependency changes

RUN rm /usr/local/bin/yarn
RUN rm /usr/local/bin/yarnpkg && npm install -g yarn

You should probably be using the Yarn Debian package in Docker (assuming you're using a Debian-based Docker image)
