yarn doesn't create node_modules folder in docker container - node.js

Question

I am trying to build an application using dockerfile and docker_compose. Everything seems ok until it comes to yarn command, which is not creating node_module and not installing dependencies.
docker-compose file:
version: '2'
services:
mdisassistant:
env_file: .env
build:
context: .
args:
- APP_NAME=${APP_NAME}
- APP_USER=app
ports:
- ${APP_PORT}:${APP_PORT}
Dockerfile:
FROM node:10.15.2-alpine
ARG APP_NAME
ARG APP_USER
RUN adduser -D -s /bin/false -h /home/$APP_USER $APP_USER $APP_USER
ENV HOME=/home/$APP_USER
WORKDIR $HOME/$APP_NAME
COPY . .
RUN chown $APP_USER:$APP_USER -R $HOME
USER $APP_USER
RUN whoami
RUN yarn install
RUN ls -la
RUN pwd
RUN yarn build
CMD ["node", "./dist/index.js"]
Output:

How to fix this problem?

Answer 1

Can you try without user creation
FROM node:10.15.2-alpine
WORKDIR /app
COPY package.json .
RUN whoami
RUN yarn install
RUN ls -la
RUN pwd
COPY . .
RUN yarn build
CMD ["node", "./dist/index.js"]

Answer 2

The problem was in the version of the docker and OS that I am used to building the docker container.
I was running docker-compose with docker version 18.x and OS was Deepin 15.11
I switched to EleebtaryOS version 5.1.2 Hera with installed docker version 19.03.6 and now everything works.
I don't know why this happens in Deepin OS.
