Running yarn through ansible gives: "[Errno 2] No such file or directory"

[Peter Conerly]

I'm installing yarn with the geerlingguy.nodejs package, but I'm running into a problem. My deploy task was previously working, but it's not working on newly provisioned machines on digitalocean.

The bug output:

TASK [deploy : get yarn version] ****************************************************************
fatal: [165.227.4.56]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "cmd": "yarn --version", "msg": "[Errno 2] No such file or directory", "rc": 2}
fatal: [138.197.212.150]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "cmd": "yarn --version", "msg": "[Errno 2] No such file or directory", "rc": 2}

When I manually log onto the machine and run yarn --version or yarn install it works just fine. Running which yarn gives me: /usr/local/lib/npm/bin/yarn, which is what's expected for the geerlingguy.nodejs's install location.

Here's my setup:
deployment.yaml

---
- name: 'Deploy webs to production'
  any_errors_fatal: true
  hosts: web
  vars:
    nodejs_version: '10.x'
    nodejs_npm_global_packages:
      - name: yarn
      - name: pm2

  environment:
    NODE_ENV: '{{ webdiff_env }}'
  roles:
    - geerlingguy.nodejs
    - { role: deploy }

a line in deploy/tasks/main.yml

   - name: 'get yarn version'
     command: "yarn --version"
     register: yarnversion

   - debug: msg="{{ yarnversion }}"

Sorry if this isn't an issue with the geerlingguy package!

I've fixed this by changing all of the instances of command: yarn to command: /usr/local/lib/npm/bin/yarn but it feels bad :-/
