This package contains shared libraries for Crossplane Skyhook.
pkg/node/process.goThe code now properly parses the .yarnrc.yml file using the sigs.k8s.io/yaml library instead of string manipulation.
We've improved the yarn installation process by directly executing the yarn binary from the path specified in the .yarnrc.yml file. This approach:
yarnPath from the .yarnrc.yml fileThe Go code now:
.yarnrc.yml file to extract the yarnPath value// Extract the yarnPath from the .yarnrc.yml file
var yarnPath string
if yarnConfig != nil {
if path, ok := yarnConfig["yarnPath"].(string); ok {
yarnPath = path
}
}
// If yarnPath is not found, use the default yarn executable
if yarnPath == "" {
yarnPath = ".yarn/releases/yarn-4.7.0.cjs"
}
// Construct the absolute path to the yarn executable
yarnExecPath := filepath.Join("/app", yarnPath)
// Run yarn install using the extracted yarn executable
yarnCmd := exec.Command("node", yarnExecPath, "install")
yarnCmd.Dir = uniqueDirPath // Set the working directory
This approach ensures that the yarn installation process runs in a separate process and doesn't block the main Node.js process, while also being more robust by using the exact yarn executable specified in the project configuration.
