To Reproduce

await expect((async () => {
  await packageJsonAndInstall({
    dependencies: {'react-tether': 'https://github.com/marvelapp/react-tether.git#b076c38b5c6bf752076109ab0d85876f80133f7b'},
  });
})()).rejects.toThrow('Installing the package dependencies **failed**');

Screenshots

Environment if relevant (please complete the following information):

OS: macOS Mojave 10.14.6
Node version: v12.4.0
Yarn version: 2.0.0-rc.12

Additional context

I have attempted to yarn unplug node-sass and the module that imports it too.

This installed OK on yarn version 1.19.2

The dependenciesMeta settings have no effect in your context because your application doesn’t depend on node-sass - tether does. It’s a bit contrived but basically when you have a git dependency we need to clone it inside a temporary directory, install its dependencies, and run yarn pack (in case it has a prepack script which would generate build artifacts etc). Only then is the resulting tarball imported into your app.

This is what happens: tether is cloned, so we install its dependencies (including dev dependencies), independently from the ones in your own app. And since the crash happens while the git tarball is being generated, Yarn didn’t get the chance to know what are the package’ dependencies - preventing the resolution to be complete, and thus the lockfile to be written.

I think it might not have been the case in the v1 because we didn’t run prepack (or prepare) on git dependencies … https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/5235
