Last updated: Jul 9, 2022
Heyo everyone, does anyone know why I would be getting this error when I am using yarn with the latest preview version?I have been seeing around that people are getting this with pnpm and having it work with npm / yarn, but for me that's not the case.


E:\Projects\test\node_modules\sanity\node_modules\.bin\sanity:2
basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\\,/,g')")
          ^^^^^^^
