'Force yarn.lock to generate?

I have a rails app, I deleted yarn.lock (due to some complicated errors), but I would like to regenerate it.

I tried yarn install -std:c++latest and yarn install --check-files -std:c++latest. As far as I can tell, these commands succeed, but I don't see any new yarn.lock file.

Any ideas how to force it to be generated?

(open to hacky ideas - I am not so familiar with the inner workings of these package managers so I'm unclear how to solve)

Notes

When I run yarn install --check-files -std:c++latest, I see:

yarn install --check-files -std:c++latest

Solution 1:[1]

Run just: yarn from the terminal

Solution 2:[2]

One reason a yarn.lock file would not generate is that frozen-lockfile was specified. That option prevents creation of a lockfile. You can check your .yarnrc to make sure it's not present.
