Could not find Nx Cloud Agent binary with Yarn v3.6.4

[david-gettins]

Current Behavior

I've recently moved to using the latest CI template recommendations for Nx Cloud. I am using yarn v3.6.4 with React Native v0.74.3. I have modified my GitHub CI template from the one provided in the Nx Cloud docs to get yarn working at the correct version.

Whenever I attempt to run an nx-cloud distributed build I get the error, "Could not find Nx Cloud Agent binary" on every agent.

I have another repo where I just use npm and not yarn. Things seem to work completely fine there.

Expected Behavior

Agents start and run.

No response

Steps to Reproduce

1. Ensure you are using yarn@3.6.4.
2. Set up CI as described here.
3. Modify CI template to use yarn.
4. Enable cloud distribution.

Downgraded to yarn v1.22.22 and the agents work again.

thanks for reporting this! It's not something we've seen before and afaik agents should work with Yarn V3

Can you send me an email at rares@nrwl.io with a link to your failing run please?
