manually setting the environments PATH resolves the issue; but that shouldn't be necessary.

Could you elaborate on your workaround @james-lawrence ? I've recently run into the same issue. Thanks.

[james-lawrence]

sure. not the exact command we're running but these are all the values we needed to adjust.

BUILD_PATH={dir} PATH=${PATH}:{dir}/node_modules/.bin yarn --modules-folder ${dir}/console/node_modules --cache-folder {dir}/console/cached --cwd ${dir}/console build
