Installation of Local Filesystem tgz Modules Fails in 0.23

Bug

What is the current behavior?
Version 0.23 breaks installation of local filesystem tgz files where 0.22 functioned as expected.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

-"dependencies": {
"bell": "^8.6.0",
"local-package-on-fs": "file:.modules/local-package-on-fs-3.0.3.tgz",

The above excerpt from a package.json functions in 0.22 but fails in 0.23 as it attempts to find the package by the full name, including tgz on npm with the following error:

yarn
yarn install v0.23.2
[1/4] 🔍  Resolving packages...
error An unexpected error occurred: "https://npm-proxy.fury.io/.../.modules/local-package-on-fs-3.0.3.tgz: Request failed \"404 Not Found\"".
info If you think this is a bug, please open a bug report with the information provided in "/yarn-error.log".
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/install for documentation about this command.

What is the expected behavior?

Yarn should respect file: references to .tgz files.

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

• Node: 6.10
• Yarn: 0.23
• Mac OS: 10.12.4

I originally mentioned this issue on this pull request as it was dealing with files:
#2723

I can provide the full package.json or whatever other information you require.

Hi, I stumbled on this issue too. Here is a script to reproduce it quickly:

YARN=yarn

rm -rf /tmp/yarntest
mkdir /tmp/yarntest
cd /tmp/yarntest

mkdir a
cd a
echo '{ "name": "a", "version": "1.0.0", "dependencies": { "b": "file:../b/b-v1.0.0.tgz" } }' > package.json

mkdir /tmp/yarntest/b
cd /tmp/yarntest/b
echo '{ "name": "b", "version": "1.0.0" }' > package.json
yarn pack

cd ../a

"$YARN" install

Removed previous comment.
Reverting #2723 does not fix the issue

[bestander]

The bug was introduced in #3004.
cc @arcanis, we'll need to fix it and add use case to tests

@tibdex, thanks a lot for the repro steps, helped a lot.
There is a bug in a/package.json, I've modified it

The issue doesn't come from this commit. Apparently, when the code reaches this line, the tarball isn't available in the cache yet (but I've checked, and it is when the command complete! weird). Will investigate.

[edit] Wait, we shouldn't even enter this function, since the fetcher is supposed to be LocalTarballFetcher...

@bestander I see that you closed this issue but I can still reproduce it 100% of the time with the latest version of Yarn (0.25.2) by simply adding one step to the scenario above: yarn cache clean.
With a clean cache and no installed modules, every single time installing a local package tarball fails into a 404 error, trying to fetch it from the registry:

yarn add file:third/my-file.tgz
yarn add v0.25.2
[1/4] 🔍  Resolving packages...
error An unexpected error occurred: "http://registry.npmjs.org/third/myfile.tgz: Request failed \"404 Not Found\"".
info If you think this is a bug, please open a bug report with the information provided in "yarn-error.log".

Any pointers? I can try to see if I can fix it and create a PR if you feel it's still a legit issue. Thanks!

Does relative path work?

yarn add file:./third/my-file.tgz
