Using yarn to add a package removes existing modules
0
When I use Yarn in an ASP.NET Core 2.1 Web Application to add a package, e.g., jquery-autocomplete, it removes the existing packages already installed. Why is it doing that? Does it have something to do with Popper.js, which seems to be a dependency of the package I want to install when this happens?
At the command prompt in the project root I typed:
yarn add --modules-folder=wwwrootlib autocomplete
asp.net-core yarnpkg

What do you mean with "removes existing packages"? Does it remove them from your package.json or does it remove files in lib folder?

It removes all files from the lib folder.

Also, in the npm folder under Dependencies, the references to the files removed from the lib folder say "not installed,", e.g., bootstrap - not installed

Ok, I fear you have "some setup" that works differently as you think it works. You'll have to do some research. In most cases npm modules are stored in a folder "node_modules" that is outside your wwwroot. Then there's a wwwroot/lib folder with js libs but these are not managed using npm but with bower or LibManager stevejgordon.co.uk/library-manager-libman-visual-studio-2017 .
