When trying to run the command yarn install, the following error message is displayed:

"Internal Error: Expected an indexed object, got a string instead. Does your file follow Yaml's rules?"

My .yarnrc.yml is syntactically correct. What is the cause of the error?

Deleting the yarn.lock file from the same folder and running yarn install afterward solved the issue.
