Failing build on fresh install: "package.json doesn't seem to have been installed"

See original GitHub issue

Bug Description Yarn throws the following error on fresh install:

The project in /Users/furkan/src/create-eth-app/package.json doesn't seem to have been installed - running an install there might help

What I’ve tried so far:

  • npm cache clean
  • rm -rf node_modules
  • yarn install (exits 0)
  • Deleting the yarn cache and running yarn install

Steps to Reproduce

  1. yarn create eth-app my-eth-app
  2. Expect error
$ yarn create eth-app my-eth-app

Usage Error: The project in /Users/furkan/src/create-eth-app/package.json doesn't seem to have been installed - running an install there might help

Aborting installation.
  yarnpkg install --cwd /Users/furkan/src/create-eth-app/my-eth-app has failed.

Expected Behavior It should build?
