yarn install error：Failed to download Chromium

Question

The Yarn install failed to download Chromium. Error is as follows:

D:\workspace\www\ant-design-mobile-pro
λ yarn
yarn install v1.12.3
//...
Directory: D:\\workspace\\www\\ant-design-mobile-pro\\node_modules\\puppeteer
Output:
ERROR: Failed to download Chromium r599821! Set \"PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD\" env variable to skip download.

Question：
Can I download Chromium manually? I can download it from https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/chromium-browser-snapshots/Win_x64/,the question is: Where should I put it after dowloading it?

Answer 1

If you don't intend to run the automated browser tests which depend upon Chromium, you can skip the install per the error message:

export PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD=true && yarn

I've occasionally encountered this yarn install timeout recently as well, and no cache clear or other manipulation has seemed to resolve it.
