NPM Publish: Authentication Fails for VSTS NPM Package Feed

See original GitHub issue

I have added an NPM Publish task to my CI Build and I have selected the proper Target Registry for which the package should publish (Using the “Registry I select here” dropdown).

I have the working folder pointed to my package.json which specifies this registry in it’s “publishConfig”: "publishConfig": { "registry": "https://intellitraks.pkgs.visualstudio.com/_packaging/IntelliTraks/npm/registry/" }

Also, in the same directory as this package.json, I have an .npmrc file like so: @intellitraks:registry=https://intellitraks.pkgs.visualstudio.com/_packaging/IntelliTraks/npm/registry/ always-auth=true

The build task always fails, mentioning that the machine is not authorized to publish to the registry.

error need auth auth required for publishing

Below is the output of the NPM Publish task:

It looks like your package.json has the “publishConfig” property set with the registry set to your feed, we use a different format when injecting credentials so this property may be overriding our auth. Can you try removing the registry from “publishConfig” and trying again?

I’m pushing a fix now to the docs (which have moved here) - it should be live in 10-20 minutes. I’ll also add an item to our backlog to see if we can support the publishConfig flow in a future version of the npm task.
