Unable to install the sfdx-git-delta plugin. I am getting the below error.

`/home/jenkins/tools/jenkins.plugins.nodejs.tools.NodeJSInstallation/NodeJS_16x/lib/node_modules/sfdx-cli/node_modules/yarn/lib/cli.js:78764
    compromised = compromised || function (err) { throw err; };

The code I am using to install the sfdx cli is
npm install sfdx-cli --global

The sfdx-cli version details are
sfdx-cli/7.129.0 linux-x64 node-v16.13.0

Command used to install sfdx-git-delta is
echo 'y' | sfdx plugins:install sfdx-git-delta

But still I am getting the error...

Hi @akshay4570 !

Thanks for raising this issue, thanks for helping this plugin to be better !

I had a look on this error message and it seems to be related to the yarn version used.
Maybe you should look this way, it does not seems to be an issue with the plugin itself...

Let us know what you find ! It will help others too

Hi @scolladon, I am getting the above error randomly. It works fine sometimes and the plugin gets installed but sometime it fails.
I can see a yarn.lock in your git repository, Does this happen because of that? As I don't yarn anywhere for installations I only use npm or sfdx commands

[scolladon]

It seems yarn is used internally in the sfdx cli to install plugins.
I don't know which version is used if it is not installed in your system (maybe an old one packaged with sfdx).
Could you try to setup the last version of yarn in your jenkins instance and see if it changed anything ?

I faced the same issue and I had to go the previous version of sfdx delta to install and then it worked okay for me after that.
I used below command: echo 'y' | sfdx plugins:install sfdx-git-delta@4.10.0

Hi @teotia32

I think your issue is linked to #223 which should be closed by now

Is it the case ?

[scolladon]

@akshay4570 do you have any information to help on this issue ?
Should we close it ?

[akshay4570]

Hi @scolladon the solution given by @teotia32 seems to work fine for now, I think we can close it and will revert back if any problem persists
