Unable to run global binaries on Windows

[mikerockett]

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

This is a bug relating to Yarn Global.

What is the current behavior?

On Windows, attempting to install Brunch or Bower via yarn global works, but the resulting binaries are not found. Error received for brunch:

"$basedir/../../Users/User/AppData/Local/Yarn/config/global/node_modules/.bin/brunch.cmd"   "$@"
The system cannot find the path specified.

However, I can confirm that C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Yarn\config\global\node_modules\.bin\brunch.cmd exists.

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

1. yarn global add brunch
2. brunch

Same applies to bower, which leads me to think this is a path issue on Windows.

What is the expected behavior?

Biary should execute as expected.

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

• Node 7.2.1; Yarn 0.18.0 - both installed via Chocolatey.
• Running Windows 10.

Apologies - I did not see this related comment.

Removing the .cmd and renaming the .cmd.cmd does indeed solve the problem.
