[bug\_fix] Yarn PnP Error YN0001: Your application tried to access unlisted package

Use yarn config set packageExtensions to declare the missing dependency for the specific parent package, or switch to nodeLinker: node-modules in .yarnrc.yml to disable PnP strict mode if strictness isn't required.

Journey Context:
You upgrade to Yarn 3 with Plug'n'Play \(PnP\) for faster installs and zero hoisting issues. On the first run, you get YN0001 with a message that webpack is trying to access webpack-cli but it's not listed in dependencies. You check and webpack-cli is indeed in your devDependencies, but webpack \(the package\) doesn't declare it as a peer or dependency. In classic node\_modules, this worked because everything was hoisted flat. PnP creates a .pnp.cjs file that strictly maps what each package can import. You can't just require anything that's on disk; it must be explicitly declared in the dependency tree. The fix is to use the packageExtensions configuration in .yarnrc.yml to tell Yarn that webpack actually needs webpack-cli as a peer dependency, or declare it as a dependency of webpack via the extension map.

environment: Yarn 2\+ \(Berry\) with PnP enabled, especially with webpack, eslint, or typescript where plugins resolve other packages · tags: yarn pnp plug-n-play yn0001 packageextensions strict-dependencies · source: swarm · provenance: https://yarnpkg.com/configuration/yarnrc\#packageExtensions and https://yarnpkg.com/advanced/rulebook\#packages-should-only-ever-require-what-they-formally-list-in-their-dependencies
