Am I missing anything necessary in yarn for this to work?

[izilla]

I also tried using node v8.12.0 and v10.11.0 same result

@izilla I can't reproduce this one. Are there other global packages that do work for you?

[Pixelatex]

Could be related to yarn itself. Try installing it with npm or check this post:

yarnpkg/yarn#648

Seems like this has plagued yarn users since 2016 0.o

Very strange I tried in on my work computer no problems. I'll try with npm.

[Pixelatex]

Fairly certain it's a local yarn problem on your device :) Keep us posted if npm does work for you

[izilla]

Yeah looks like on my work computer yarn v1.9.4 was installed I updated to v1.10.1 and I can repro the behavior I will try installing v1.9.4 on my local machine to see if that will work

[izilla]

OK so I worked around the issue with NPM. Could not find an easy way through brew to downgrade yarn since I did not have it installed. So I removed it brew remove yarn and installed it with npm npm install --global yarn@1.9.4. I can now run react-static create without issues.

Huzzah!

[Pixelatex]

@tannerlinsley another reason to move to npm? :p

[tannerlinsley]

Maybe... maybe it's a sign from above haha 😇

First uninstall previous package, then while reinstalling put --save and it works.
