Lerna 401 error when publishing to a private repo

Expected Behavior

Runing using Jenkins :

lerna publish --yes --canary minor

Should publish my packages to the provided private registry.

Current Behavior

Throws error:

18:55:35 lerna notice Skipping all user and access validation due to third-party registry
18:55:35 lerna notice Make sure you're authenticated properly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
18:55:35 lerna http fetch PUT 401  85ms
18:55:35 lerna ERR! E401 Unable to authenticate, need: BASIC realm="Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager"

Possible Solution

I tried :

1/ in lerna.json

  "command": {
    "publish": {
      "npmClient": "npm",
      "verifyAccess": false,
      "ignoreChanges": []
    }
  }

2/ --no-verify-access

3/ add .npmrc (it is ignored).

Your Environment

Executable	Version
lerna --version	3.19.0
npm --version	6.4.1
node --version	10.14.1

Any help please ?

How can I setup authentication using lerna ?

Is there equivalent to npm options --globalconfig ${pp.env.GLOBAL_NPM_CONFIG} --color=always and --userconfig ${pp.env.NPM_CONFIG} using lerna ?

thanks 😃

Additional info for researchers. In a case when multiple packages are publishing from GitHub Actions, the YAML should provide env variables with tokens. I found a good example. With the 401 error, these lines helped me (from the example).

Many thanks to the repo author and to the authors of this thread 🙏🏻

@helabenkhalfallah, try this official GitHub guidelines.

My problem was caused by—

1. local .npmrc, where I specified custom registry URL without my GitHub name, and
2. Lerna package package.json files missed repository field. E.g., github:<your-github-name>/<your-repo>
