Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? Bug

What is the current behavior?
Unable to run yarn create react-app inside workspaces.
I get the following error:

Aborting installation.
Unexpected error. Please report it as a bug:
{ Error: Cannot find module '/Users/repo/packages/test/node_modules/react-scripts/package.json'

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

1. Create a new repo with yarn workspaces
2. Go to the packages folder and run yarn create react-app test

What is the expected behavior? Should be able to use create-react-app inside workspace to bootstrap a new webproject

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.
node: v8.9.0
yarn: 1.3.2
macOS High Sierra
Version 10.13.1 (17B48)

Does yarn create work for you with any other packages? I'm just wondering if this is a Yarn bug or a Create React App bug.

@iansu This seems to be a create-react-app bug, this worked fine with create-vue-app

[iansu]

That's what I was afraid of. Can you create a new issue in Create React App so we can look into it?

Found the same issue there, I'll close this one 👍
