Force upgrade of transitive dependencies in yarn

Somewhere deep within my node_modules lurks a broken package. yarn upgrade node-gyp does nothing for me as the broken node-gyp is a transitive dependency. What's a dev to do?

Yarn has a solution, and it's called selective version resolutions.

I throw this in my package.json, run yarn again, and I'm back in ship shape.

{
  "resolutions": {"**/**/node-gyp": "^3.8.0" }
}
