Question 1

How to use borales/actions-yarn with a monorepo?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'dir' input to specify subdirectories, like setting it to 'frontend' to run Yarn commands in that folder, as demonstrated in the README example for testing.

Question 2

Does this action work with Yarn 2?

Accepted Answer

No, it's only compatible with Yarn 1.x, so if your project uses Yarn 2 or Berry, you'll need to find an alternative action or use shell commands directly.

Question 3

How to authenticate with a private npm registry in this action?

Accepted Answer

Set the NODE_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable in the workflow step, as mentioned in the README, to allow the Yarn install command to access private packages.

Question 4

Borales/actions-yarn vs running Yarn commands directly in GitHub Actions?

Accepted Answer

This action provides a structured way to run Yarn commands with inputs like 'dir', but for simple cases, direct shell steps might suffice without extra dependencies.

Question 5

How to run multiple Yarn commands in one step with this action?

Accepted Answer

You can't; each use of the action runs a single 'cmd', so for multiple commands, use separate steps or combine them into a custom script run via this action.

Question 6

Is there caching support to speed up builds?

Accepted Answer

No, the action doesn't include caching; you need to implement it separately using GitHub Actions' cache feature or integrate with actions like actions/cache.
