✨ Done in 0.30s.
If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.
Just yarn add --cwd invalid-dir bluebird (and invalid-dir not exist, of course)
What is the expected behavior?
Throw an error, or at least show a warning.
For reference, on npm 5.6.0, npm --prefix invalid-dir bluebird creates invalid-dir and installs it there (which I also think is unexpected behavior), but at least it throws a warning:
$ npm i --prefix invalid-dir bluebird
npm WARN saveError ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/marvin/devel/yarn-add-cwd-demo/invalid-dir/package.json'
