Using npx create-react-app test --use-npm works fine - But should I Have Support on Yarn?

[rally25rs]

the same commend worked fine for me with yarn:

~/Projects/yarn-test 🐒   npx create-react-app test

Success! Created test at /Users/jvalore/Projects/yarn-test/test
Inside that directory, you can run several commands:

  yarn start
    Starts the development server.

  yarn build
    Bundles the app into static files for production.

  yarn test
    Starts the test runner.

  yarn eject
    Removes this tool and copies build dependencies, configuration files
    and scripts into the app directory. If you do this, you can’t go back!

We suggest that you begin by typing:

  cd test
  yarn start

Happy hacking!
