yarn fails with Invalid URI

[joeheyming]

I just installed yarn and ran it in my local npm repository.

It fails on file: uris:

yarn install v0.15.1

error %27http://react: Invalid URI "%27http://react"

I'm experiencing the same issue.

This fails:

"angular2-materialize": "file:angular2-materialize-5.2.1.tgz"

...but this works fine in yarn, as well as npm:

"angular2-materialize": "./angular2-materialize-5.2.1.tgz"

I will give this a shot.

Created #1591 to fix this, pending approval.

[joeheyming]

Wait, @kittens #1591 says to remove the file: suffix, don't you mean file: prefix?

I just tried out yarn with v0.16.1 and I still get the invalid uri error

[shahmirn]

I agree with @joeheyming that the code should be using removePrefix, not removeSuffix

I also get the same error with v0.16.1

[shahmirn]

@joeheyming @kittens I submitted a PR to change the code from removeSuffix to removePrefix
