TypeError on yargs when using concurrently to start services

[jchli]

Hello, we're running into an intermittent issue where we get a

TypeError: shim$1.Parser.lookslikeNumber is not a function error when trying to start up our services with: concurrently "npm run local-server" "npm run l10n-watch". It looks like its coming from yargs.

We currently need to npm uninstall concurrently && npm install concurrently to "fix" it

The stacktrace:

/app-repo/node_modules/concurrently/node_modules/yargs/build/index.cjs:2804
        if (shim$1.Parser.lookslikeNumber(arg) &&
                          ^

Version: concurrently@7.1.0

There's a high chance that this is fixed by #307 as it includes a version upgrade of yargs. I guess there will be a new release of concurrently soon...

[gustavohenke]

Said new release is out now -- do you want to give it a try and report back, @jchli?

Closing as I assume this has been fixed Please open a new issue if the problem still exists

I'm having the same problem with yargs >= 17.6.1, the last version that works is 17.6.0.
