Cannot use yarn ENOENT README

When running yarn (or any yarn command e.g yarn install) I receive the following error:

error An unexpected error occurred: "ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/Users/my.user/README'".

In the yarn error log there is nothing special except the same trace as above.

Yarn version: 1.22.10

Node version: 14.7.0

Solution

  • To solve the problem I deleted the README file in the above mentioned path of the trace. (Even if the trace said it does not exist, it existed). Afterwards everything worked fine again.
