Yarn Berry

Yarn Berry, the 2.x and later line.

mpm claims this class for any yarn binary reporting a 2.x or newer version.

Warning

Yarn Berry removed the yarn global command family entirely: it has no notion of globally installed packages. Only search is available, while installed, outdated, install, upgrade and remove are all unsupported.

Note

search is simulated with yarn npm info and only resolves exact package names.

Ecosystem

  • Accepted purl types: pkg:npm, pkg:yarn-berry

Usage

$ mpm --yarn-berry installed
$ mpm --yarn-berry search "query"

Every example above accepts --dry-run, which simulates the underlying manager calls without touching the system: the safe way to watch what mpm would do before trusting it.

Deselect the manager for a single run with --no-yarn-berry, disable it from your configuration, or tune its invocation attributes with per-manager overrides.

Command line

  • CLI names, in lookup order: yarn

The version is extracted from the output of yarn --version with:

r"(?P<version>\S+)"

Privilege escalation

mpm runs this manager as the current user and never prepends sudo by default. Flip the policy for its privileged operations with --sudo or the per-manager sudo override.

See privilege escalation for the full policy.

Cooldown

State of Yarn Berry’s release-age gating, from the cooldown support table:

  • Status: 🟡 Shipped upstream (Berry ≥ 4.10) but unreachable through mpm (the yarn-berry handler does not implement install / upgrade because Yarn Berry removed global installs)

  • Mechanism: npmMinimalAgeGate
