The build is failing if there is a .yarnrc with --cwd at the root

One of the things that I usually have when working on projects that have a frontend in a folder is to create a .yarnrc file at the root of the project with --cwd set to the folder of the assets. For example --cwd assets. This allows you to run yarn commands without cd-ing into the folder first.

But having this, makes the build fail. The message the I get is

error Package "phoenix" refers to a non-existing file '"/app/deps/phoenix"'.

If I remove .yarnrc file, the build works.

Here is my configuration for the buildpack

node_version=10.19.0
yarn_version=1.22.4
assets_path=assets/
compile="phoenix_static_build.sh"

where my phoenix_static_build.sh is

cd $phoenix_dir
yarn --cwd assets/ build

I have tried putting .yarnrc in the assets forlder with --cwd . but it does not help
