Description

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

It's a bug.

What is the current behavior? Attempting to install a package with an install checkpoint script (accepting terms and conditions) halts yarn install execution.

Package on npm: @squarespace/server
Succeeds with npm install: yes Tested: yes, with a single package in package.json this still fails

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

  • create a package.json file with single dependancy: "@squarespace/server": "^1.1.2"
  • run yarn install

What is the expected behavior? halt install and wait for the checkpoint script to successfully execute (exit)

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version. node 9.3.0 yarn 1.5.1 osx 10.13.3

Research direction
Investigate how yarn executes install scripts, particularly checkpoint scripts. Compare with npm's behavior by looking at npm's source or documentation. Examine yarn's script execution code in the `src/scripts.js` file or similar. The issue indicates that npm succeeds, so focus on the differences in handling lifecycle scripts like 'checkpoint'.
