Additional context

@joeldenning How can we reproduce the problem, can you upload the repo somewhere on which we can reproduce the problem, or can you provide precise repro steps?

[joeldenning]

can you upload the repo somewhere

This error is not related to running yarn in a code repository - it occurs whenever I run yarn set version from sources inside of any directory.

can you provide precise repro steps?

For me:

npm i -g yarn
yarn set version berry
yarn set version from sources

I imagine that on other computers those commands don't throw an error - I don't know what about my environment would cause it to fail.

Do you have a .yarnrc.yml file in your home directory that sets an invalid nodeLinker value?

[joeldenning]

I do have a .yarnrc in my home directory with the following contents:

yarnPath: ".yarn/releases/yarn-berry.cjs"

I tried yarn set version from sources again and no longer receive the nodeLinker error, but receive a new error now:

~ [1] $ yarn set version from sources

  $ git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD

[merceyz]

As https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started/install mentions you should be running that command in your project, not the home directory (i.e. remove yarnPath from your global config). Will keep this open as there does seem to be a bug when installed globally

Will keep this open as there does seem to be a bug when installed globally

In retrospect it's most likely the same issue as #2121
