How to ignore incompatible engine "node" error on installing npm dependencies with yarn?
Full error message
Given this package.json:
{
"name": "yarn-install-fail",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"aws-sdk": "2.x.x",
"s3-streams": "^0.3.0"
}
}
I can install the dependencies successfully via npm:
$ npm install
added 27 packages in 1.844s
Yet yarn fails:
$ yarn install
yarn install v0.24.5
info No lockfile found.

error [email protected]: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "^1.2.0".
error Found incompatible module

It appears yarn has trouble installing the library [email protected], yet I assumed it would fallback to install all the dependencies anyway like npm would.Solutionsource: stackoverflow \u2197
You can indeed ignore such errors via --ignore-engines: $ yarn install --ignore-engines yarn install v0.24.5 info No lockfile found. [1/4] Resolving packages... [2/4] Fetching packages... [3/4] Linking dependencies... [4/4] Building fresh packages... success Saved lockfile. Done in 1.41s. This is also documented in the command's help: $ yarn help | grep -- --ignore --ignore-scripts don't run lifecycle scripts --ignore-platform ignore platform checks --ignore-engines ignore engines check --ignore-optional ignore optional dependencies
