Description
Generally speaking, only tools that matter to the current process should be injected to the PATH. For example, running node ...
should only add .volta/tools/image/node/22.13.1/bin
to the PATH, not .volta/tools/image/yarn/1.22.19/bin
. This last path should only be added to the PATH once the yarn
shim is actually called.
The reason for that is that until the Yarn shim is called, Volta doesn't know whether it would ever be called. For example on my system only Node is managed by Volta on some projects, with the global yarn
binary coming from another source, let's say /path/to/my/yarn
. Unfortunately when calling execFile
from within Node the Volta Yarn is unexpectedly called because Volta force-injected the shim.
As a workaround for this issue users can remove the yarn
field from the ~/.volta/tools/user/platform.json
file - this will prevent Volta from finding a path for Yarn, and thus to add it into the PATH.
