Yarn not in path on Laradock worskpace when using it in inline docker exec command

Question

I have a problem using Laradock and yarn with an inline docker exec command from "outside" the workspace container.

When I use it from inside the workspace container, everything is working as expected :

docker exec -it --user=laradock laradock_workspace_1 bash
yarn -v
1.3.2

When I try to use it from an inline command, here is what happens :

docker exec -it --user=laradock laradock_workspace_1 yarn -v
OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:296: starting container process caused "exec: \"yarn\": executable file not found in $PATH": unknown

Am I doing anything wrong ?

Answer 1

I found the solution myself.
For those who encounter the same issue, just use docker exec following the example below, in order to get access to node or yarn :

docker exec -it --user=laradock laradock_workspace_1 bash --login -c "yarn -v"
