Setup node produces incorrect .npmrc file

[aqeelat]

Description:
The .npmrc file created by the action does not match what is specified in https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v10/configuring-npm/npmrc/
Primarily, it copies the exact registry-url without stripping the protocol when creating the auth parameter.

For example:

- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
  env:
    NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: "MyAuthToken"
  with:
    registry-url: 'https://my-repo.example.com/npm-private/'
    scope: 'myscope'

Results in:

https://my-repo.example.com/npm-private/:_authToken=${NODE_AUTH_TOKEN}
@myscope:registry=https://my-repo.example.com/npm-private/

Instead of

//my-repo.example.com/npm-private/:_authToken=${NODE_AUTH_TOKEN}
@myscope:registry=https://my-repo.example.com/npm-private/

Action version:
v4

Hello @aqeelat👋,
Thank you for your report. I have tested the functionality and the .npmrc file is generated correctly. Here’s the screenshot from my test run:

For your reference, you can find the relevant code related to this functionality in the setup-node repository here.
As I am unable to reproduce the issue on my end, could you please provide a link to a minimal reproduction of the issue so we can investigate further?
Looking forward to your response.

Hi @priyagupta108,
Can you confirm that your repo did not already have a .npmrc?

Hello @aqeelat,
Thank you for your response.
I can confirm that my repository did not have a pre-existing .npmrc file before running the action.
