yarn install doesn't seem to install the mkdirp binary on Linux

[mstange]

If you follow the instructions in the readme on a new clone of perf.html on Linux, yarn run start-prod doesn't work because it can't find the mkdirp binary.

Using npm install in place of yarn install works.

I haven't debugged this much further.

Humm it works for me.

Do you have mkdirp in node_modules/.bin/ ?
Which version of yarn do you have ? (output of yarn --version)

Do you have mkdirp in node_modules/.bin/ ?

No, I did not when I used yarn install. (Afterwards I blew away node_modules and used npm install, which created an mkdirp file inside node_modules/.bin/ successfully.)

I have yarn version 0.27.5, and node version v7.2.0. This is on the perf-html.io server, by the way.

Indeed I see the same issue with latest yarn 0.27.5 -- before upgrading I had yarn 0.24 where the issue is not reproduced... very weird indeed

This seems to be a bug in yarn, they broke it in yarnpkg/yarn#3545 and fixed it in yarnpkg/yarn#3877

This means their 0.26.x and 0.27.x versions are broken for us :/

You can force install latest prerelease version v0.28.1 with this command:
curl -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash -s -- --version 0.28.1

Thanks for investigating this so thoroughly!
