Hello @yisibl . I've tried to reproduce the issue by my own, but it works as expected. Could you please provide minimum repro steps to reproduce the issue outside of your repository. I suppose the issue can be related to the fact that the package is published. Possibly you need to change version in package.json

[dmitry-shibanov]

Hello @yisibl. Just a gentle ping. Do you have any updates ?

[meeroslav]

We had the issue on Nx for our nightly tests that use Verdaccio as a local registry. The publishing was passing on Ubuntu, but failing on MacOs and Windows machines.

The fix is to explicitly specify registry-url.

- name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node_version }}
  uses: actions/setup-node@v2
  with:
    node-version: ${{ matrix.node_version }}
    registry-url: http://localhost:4872 # url to our Verdaccio registry

This was introduced with version 2.4.1 btw.

[dmitry-shibanov]

Hello @meeroslav. Thank you for your response. Could you please create a separate issue on it, if it's still relevant for you. Could you please provide such information as:

• Do you have publishConfig in the package.json
• Do you have npmrc in the root of your project.

Actually It was nothing changed regarding to the publishing logic in v2.4.1.

[AlexxNB]

Hello!
Same issue. When I tried publish module on NPM in actions first time(no module with such name in registry), I got this error:

I've tried v1 and v2 of the setup-node action, also different versions of Node. Of course I have a NPM token in repository secrets.

Then I publish my package manually (using npm login). But action still can't publish newer version.

Action is here: https://github.com/AlexxNB/migy/blob/master/.github/workflows/test-and-publish.yml

[dmitry-shibanov]

Hello @AlexxNB. Thank you for your report. Could please check section Publish to npmjs and GPR with npm. For authentication you should provide registry. Moreover, you can check this documentation.

Besides, possablly you'll need to provide a scope of the package.

[AlexxNB]

@dmitry-shibanov thanks, it works now. I was completely sure that registry-url param has default value pointing to npmjs.

[dmitry-shibanov]

Hello everyone. For now I'm closing the issue because we can't reproduce it from our side. If you have any concerns feel free to contact us or create a new issue.

[yisibl]

Environments and secrets are very confusing, which caused me to add the npm token to Environments, so it would fail.
I suggest GitHub give better documentation and UX on how to add npm tokens here.

[martinheidegger]

This happens to me when using Node < 16 as runner. In my case I am trying to run/build with the same node version as is used in AWS lambdas: 14.17 is the version where we work against.

[e-korolevskii]

Hey @martinheidegger. Thank you for your reply. Could you create a separate issue about this if it's still relevant for you, and if it is, please provide minimal reproduction steps.
We will investigate and get back to you as soon as possible.

I had the same problem, thank you very much for the issues
