Question

The GitHub actions fails with this output:

npm error need auth This command requires you to be logged in to https://registry.npmjs.org/
npm error need auth You need to authorize this machine using npm adduser

here is the log for publish-npm job:

npm warn publish npm auto-corrected some errors in your package.json when publishing.  Please run "npm pkg fix" to address these errors.
npm warn publish errors corrected:
npm warn publish "bin[analyze-project]" script name was cleaned

here is my release-package.yaml:

        with:
          node-version: 20

      - name: Install dependencies

        with:

      - name: Publish to npm
        run: npm publish
        env:
          NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}

  publish-gpr:

    permissions:

    steps:

        with:
          node-version: 20
          registry-url: https://npm.pkg.github.com/

      - name: Configure npm to use GitHub Packages registry
        run: npm config set registry https://npm.pkg.github.com/

      - name: Publish to GitHub Packages
        run: npm publish
        env:
          NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GIT_TOKEN }}

I've added the GitHub and npm tokens to the repo as secret variables, unfortunately it did not help and the errors still appear.

In order to publish to npm registry you need to make two small changes to your step. Instead of setting environment variable NODE_AUTH_TOKEN, explicitly configure access token for registry.npmjs.org in .npmrc Make the package public, unless you have a payment plan with npm. The package name would be in the form @name/package, where name is any name you choose:

  - name: Publish to npm
    run: |
      echo "//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}" > ~/.npmrc
      npm publish --access public

In order to publish to GitHub packages, you simply need to use default GITHUB_TOKEN, provided by GitHub to your workflow. Your workflow already configured GITHUB_TOKEN for read/write permission for packages. The package name would be in the form @name/package, where name is your GitHub user name:

  - name: Publish to GitHub Packages
    run: npm publish
    env:
      NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

I have followed your suggestion related to publish-npm job. But actually don't want to modify the package name, is there any workaround for that ?

Delta George Over a year ago

You should be able to keep your package name

Unfortunately I'm getting this error npm notice npm notice Publishing to https://registry.npmjs.org/ with tag latest and public access npm error code E404 npm error 404 Not Found - PUT https://registry.npmjs.org/code-diagnose - Not found npm error 404 npm error 404 '[email protected]' is not in this registry. npm error 404 npm error 404 Note that you can also install from a npm error 404 tarball, folder, http url, or git url.

This is unexpected if you are publishing a new version. The error says that '[email protected]' is not in this registry. However, I see this version npmjs.com/package/code-diagnose?activeTab=versions. How did you publish those versions? Did you use a different identity? Or different node version? Also, unlikely but perhaps there is an issue with specifying —access public for global namespace?

Suren Poghosyan Over a year ago

I've published it manually from terminal by using npm publish, also I suspect that it fails to publish via workflow because of 2FA, what do you think ?
