@quasar/cli 2.1.1, "NPM registry server returned an error, so we cannot detect latest version"

[fdstevex]

I'm using @quasar/cli 2.1.1 and I'm seeing the issue from (closed) issue 15804. I commented there, but opening this as a new issue because I'm not sure what the process is for updating a closed issue.

Thanks

Cannot reproduce with Yarn.
But I am noticing something NOT ok: you have locally installed "@quasar/cli" into your project folder.
Please remove it then try this command again.

[rstoenescu]

Also, you don't have Yarn installed, but your project folder is configured with Yarn.
Delete yarn.lock file and install with your preferred node package manager.

Please reopen if I missed anything.

[fdstevex]

Done, no change unfortunately.

Either install Yarn v1 or delete yarn.lock and install with your preferred node package manager.

[fdstevex]

I don't have a yarn.lock.

[rstoenescu]

Do you have a yarn.lock in any of the parent folders?
Can you contact me on Discord pls to speed this up?

[fdstevex]

Crap, yes, there was a yarn.lock in my home directory! New laptop, not sure how I ended up with that, but that was it. Thank you!

[rstoenescu]

Glad everything works for you now again.
