Issue
As described in issue Contributor Windows build on non-HOMEDRIVE 'Could not resolve "clipanion"' #598, if the instructions in CONTRIBUTING are followed to clone the repo, install dependencies with Yarn and then build with Yarn, these steps fail if running on a Microsoft Windows operating system and the repo has been cloned to a drive which is not the user's
HOMEDRIVE.Pending the implementation of Yarn feature request [Feature] allow packageLocations in .pnp.cjs to be absolute paths yarnpkg/berry#4030, Yarn Plug'n'Play is not compatible with the above Windows configuration.
The corepack repo is currently configured to use Yarn 4.3.1 and since nodeLinker is unconfigured, it defaults to
nodeLinker: "pnp"for Yarn Plug'n'Play.corepack/package.json
Line 19 in 2a04e7c
Change
Add a recommendation and workaround instructions to CONTRIBUTING for contributors working on Microsoft Windows, related to drive usage.
