What is the expected behavior?
When I ran second time - everything OK, and with NPM - OK(even after removing node_module dir). When node_module is removed the previous error appeared

Could anybody tell when this issue will (not) be fixed ? Thank you

[dcecile]

This looks like a duplicate of #1016 -- both seem to be about phantomjs-prebuilt failing due to npm_config_tmp not set 🤔

[rally25rs]

Unable to reproduce on Yarn v0.24.6. I think this issue has been fixed.
