babel-preset-react-app dependency error - Yarn 3

[Mezzle]

Describe the bug

When attempting to use create-react-app with yarn 3, running the scripts returns the following error

Error: [BABEL] src/index.tsx: babel-preset-react-app tried to access @babel/plugin-proposal-private-property-in-object, but it isn't declared in its dependencies; this makes the require call ambiguous and unsound.

Thanks @Mezzle for reporting, we likely need to add @babel/plugin-proposal-private-property-in-object in the babel-preset-react-app package as a dependency in package.json

#11751 seems like it will fix this.

Thanks! #11751 is added to 5.0.1 milestone

Is there a temporary fix for this, it seems I cannot use CRA with yarn workspaces currently

Add to your .yarnrc.yml:

packageExtensions:
  babel-preset-react-app@*:
    dependencies:
      "@babel/plugin-proposal-private-property-in-object": "*"

In addition to what @llimos said, you also need to run yarn install afterwards to update your yarn.lock file with this change.
