Dockerfiles that use yarn build without issue on a Mac OS 10.11 with docker 1.12.1 and Fedora 24 with docker 1.10.3 are failing to build in CircleCI. There’s an issue open against yarn for this ( [https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/918](https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/918) ), but siunce the issue doesn’t happen in other environments, I believe it’s an issue with CircleCI. ---

We are also experiencing this issue. Blocking the use of Yarn on CircleCI. Perhaps an issue with the Docker version being so dated…? Builds are fine on osx with: Docker version 1.12.2, build bb80604, experimental Installing Yarn via: curl -o- -L [https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh](https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh) | bash && ---

We are also experiencing this. Even with docker image built on docker hub that contains a line in Dockerfile like `npm install -g yarn` - that layer is rendered un-pullable from within CircleCI. A pull on that specific image will result in error saying that tag was not found. Also, building docker image on CircleCI fails with `npm install yarn && ./node_modules/.bin/yarn` as well. ---

Any progress on this? ---

**Off-topic:** You mention running macOS together with Docker on CircleCI, how did you get this to work? When we include the docker service inside a mac build it just errors for us! ---

What I was referring to is all inside of Docker. I’m running the same Dockerfile on my Mac and on CircleCI, but it sounds like you’re trying to do something else. ---

@dave-nm Are you still running into this issue on our latest build image, which includes Yarn pre-installed? ---

The issue was resolved by yarn a while back (see the github issue in the original post) and has been working since. ---
