Description

Running ng update with the --force argument does not work if using Yarn 2 or greater. Many Yarn command line arguments changed after Yarn 1 in ways that were not backwards compatible.

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

In a project that is configured to use Yarn 3 as the package manager, run the following:

npx @angular/cli@^12 update --force @angular/core@^12 @angular/cli@^12

🔥 Exception or Error

I have same problem. I need to run yarn install and ng update --from --to manually, this is a bit annoying.

It's look like it's connected with #22048 and silent flag

[ericparton]

does closing this issue mean that the angular cli will never fully support any new version of yarn?

[Lonli-Lokli]

@ericparton it should work, you should raise new issue if it's now working.

Force usage should be fixed in 14.0.5 with this commit #23500
