=> ERROR [5/5] RUN npm install or yarn in Dockerfile
I am trying to Dockerise a React app, but when it reaches the command to install npm it throws an error.
My Dockerfile contains:
# pull official base image
FROM node:12.6.0-alpine
# set working directory
RUN mkdir /app
COPY . /app
WORKDIR /app
ENV PATH /app/node_modules/.bin:$PATH
RUN yarn
# start app
CMD ["npm", "start"]
The error is this when it reaches the command to run npm install or yarn:
[5/5] RUN yarn:
#9 0.725 yarn install v1.16.0

Because of the V8 engine whims, feature detection in old core-js versions could cause a slowdown up to 100x even if nothing is polyfilled. Please, upgrade your dependencies to the actual version of core-js.
