Using per-project Yarn 2 (berry) installation

[kydesnic]

Hello! I'm trying to combine create-react-app with yarn 2.

I'm using Yarn 2 according to its manual (https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started/install). I had installed Yarn v1 globally (npm install -g yarn) previously. Now I create a project directory, and install Yarn 2 there (yarn set version berry).

Then I try to create-react-app. The yarn manual uses the dlx command for this to bootstrap create-react-app, but they specify the folder name. That doesn't make any sense, having the instructions, described above, because then I will get a project folder inside my existing folder with Yarn installation. So I try yarn dlx create-react-app . The command doesn't work, it complains about the existing .yarn and .yarnrc.yml. Of course I have these with a per-project Yarn installation, moreover I want to reuse them further. This error doesn't make sense either, since create-react-app is supposed to add the necessary packages, not to rewrite the whole yarn cache.

There are advices in the web to use Yarn 1 to run create-react-app, then to delete node_modules manually, then to install Yarn 2 inside the created project directory, then to install the packages back with Yarn 2 (yarn install). This way seems to be too twisted to start a project every time thusly. The tools are being designed to simplify the life, not otherwise.

Please, how can I make create-react-app cooperate with a local yarn 2 installation?

yeah, this is just too much work, I'm sticking with yarn 1 in the meantime.
