GitHub Actions CI yarn install fails (error ink@6.0.1)

[MikeMcC399]

Situation

GitHub Actions CI workflow yarn.yaml runs against node-version: 18.16, where the command yarn install fails:

[3/5] Fetching packages...
error ink@6.0.1: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">=20". Got "18.16.1"
error Found incompatible module.

Assessment

• ink@3.2.0 is a dependency of tap@15.2.3 where ink is also listed under bundleDependencies. This seems to allow a wildcard version selection, that includes the latest ink version ink@6.0.1, and exposes a bug in Yarn Classic (v1). Yarn Modern and npm don't have a problem with this.

• Using the following command can work around the Yarn Classic bug

  yarn install --ignore-engines

• Once dependencies have been installed using the above workaround, executing yarn test now fails.

Abandoned, due to the general state of this repo which is no longer maintainable.
