Description

Even with the existence of —non-interactive from #2770, it seems that login still requires a TTY.

If you try to programmatically login where a TTY doesn't exist you get:

error An unexpected error occurred: "Can't answer a question unless a user TTY".

yarn - 0.24.4 os - macos, linux

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how yarn handles interactive prompts when TTY is not available and implement a non interactive mode for login. Look at how ` non interactive` flag is currently implemented and extend it to cover login flow.
