i have the same problem, yarn just stuck in this status without any logs~~~

I tried without global option and it worked, then it also worked for global mode. Anyways I am new to yarn....

When you install electron, it has to download a copy of chromium, that's what is happening when "building"

@GloriousYellow ah then i think it was caused by my bad Internet lmfao.

same error... any news?

This should be fixed with Yarn 1.6.0. Can someone verify?

Oh wow, @marcelogarbin was using the latest. Sorry.

Looks like the fix for this isn't released yet. Anyone willing to try the nightly build to see if it is fixed on master(it should)? - http://nightly.yarnpkg.com/

Just tried the nightly and it works with it!

As an additional datapoint, I was having this problem on 1.3.0 and upgrading to latest stable (1.7.0) solved it.

Thanks for confirming @milesrichardson!

I am having this issue with 1.7.0 stuck on "puppeteer"

Can confirm as well ~

node: 8.11.4

edit .yarnrc and insert line

Check network, if it is downloading, waiting to finish and download packages you need.

I solved it by switching to different network (hotspot). I guess our office network firewall had some restrictions.

Was there any other solutions here? I'm having the same issue

i have same issue, i'ill run gatsby new project, select yarn install all packages, but waste a long time here, no error、no log, i try again, same question

I'm having the same issue, it hangs on "Building fresh packages..."
This happens for any packages on any network when internet works for other applications just fine.

yarn 1.17.0
node 10.16.0
macOS 10.14.5 (Mojave)

I am going to lock this issue as I don't see any useful comments coming in and it feels more like a support forum instead of an open source project issue :)
