I can’t use the pre-installed version of yarn on this image.

#!/bin/bash -eo pipefail yarn --version
/bin/bash: yarn: command not found
Exited with code exit status 127
CircleCI received exit code 127

Here is the job:

build_android:
    machine:
      image: android:2022.01.1
    resource_class: large
    environment:
      _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xms5g -Xmx5g
      GRADLE_OPTS: -Dorg.gradle.jvmargs="-Xmx5g -Xms5g -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError"
      CIRCLE_BUILD_NUM: << pipeline.number >>
    parameters:
      release:
        type: boolean
        default: false
    steps:

      - run: yarn --version

That is likely to be because of the image you have selected. ‘2022.03.1-node’ is listed as having yarn 1.22.5 included.

The table published above does not seem to match the images in the image library.

I thought that the image I selected was this part. Am I wrong?

image: android:2022.01.1

Change it to android:2022.01.1-node

The link I provided lists all the available images and shows which packages have been included if you click on ‘show more’. yarn is not listed in android:2022.01.1 but it is in android:2022.01.1-node

(my mistake in the earlier post when I used ‘2022.03.1-node’ instead of '2022.01.1-node)

Hi. Sorry about that. It looks like there was a typo in the chart. The Android VM image does not contain Yarn until the April release. I’ve corrected the chart above.
