Question: how do i publish a package

Hi,

I have a group on gitlab.com and my verdaccio is configured but i got a access denied when trying to publish a package.

This is my configuration:

    packages:
      '@*/*':
        # scoped packages
        access: $authenticated
        publish: $authenticated
        proxy: npmjs
        gitlab: true

      '**':
        access: $authenticated
        publish: $authenticated
        proxy: npmjs
        gitlab: true

I successfully logged in with npm adduser --registry <url-here> after that i changed my package name to @GroupName/package-name but when i want to publish it to the registry i got a access denied. user username is not allowed to publish package @GroupName/package-name : @GroupName/package-name

Logs:

 debug--- [gitlab] user found in cache: username authenticated, with groups: username,GroupName
 debug--- [gitlab] user: username denied from publishing package: @GroupName/package-name

So the question is what do i wrong? or is this kind of a bug? also my group name is case sensitive maybe thats the problemen same of the username authentication?

Hope you guys have some ideas 😉

Mmm nope, false alarm on my side. I was able to push, with a mix of uppercase / lowercase. Just be sure, I used user as name and GroupName as group. Then I modified my local package.json to use the group and tried to publish, no issues (don’t mind the extra log messages, I modified them a bit in my local env):

Found the problem! my Kubernetes setup resolves the variables in the config file (ConfigMap). Sorry for that, thanks for checking @dlouzan!, the issue with the username still stands btw but thats already mentioned in #20.
