Generator doesn't pull template from private repo

[alextrs]

Describe the bug

After upgrade to 1.6.0 version from 1.1.4, ag stopped to recognize npm configuration to use private repository

How to Reproduce

install @asyncapi/generator@1.6.0

configure NPM to use private repository using:
npm config set registry <path to registry>

try to generate code
ag ./server.yaml @repo/template --force-write --output ./out

see error - Error: 404 Not Found - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/<template in private repo> - Not found

install @asyncapi/generator@1.1.4
ag ./server.yaml @repo/template --force-write --output ./out
Done! ✨

Expected behavior

Ag should pull template from private repository

@alextrs the reason is that with 1.2 we no longer use global npm to install templates, we had to change it to not only support the latest node and npm7 but also to solve some installation-related issues.

tbh, we were not aware people use private registries with generator, so sorry for breaking your functionality.

now we use Arborist for installation (https://github.com/asyncapi/generator/blob/master/lib/generator.js#L371). Luckily what you need is supported -> https://github.com/npm/arborist#usage

we would just need to not only enable Arborist configuration on API level but also figure out how to do it for the CLI, how to name parameters.

Would appriciate some help here

Hey all, +1 for this use case.

Either enabling the CLI to use private registries w/ the generator or publishing an officially supported image that includes a bundle of all the officially supported templates would make it easier to run the generator on build servers in any enterprise environment that restricts internet access.

I.e. security team needs to vet either each individual template image or the officially supported image w/ all the templates

[derberg]

would be great if someone could contribute this feature, happy to guide

[rluvaton]

I would be happy to take it, just encounter the issue myself

[rluvaton]

A quick workaround would be to install the packages locally (not with the -g flag) and run the generate again

[derberg]

@rluvaton 🚀

why do you need workarounds? as I see Arborist supports passing auth token, we just need to enable it on API level and in the code

[rluvaton]

I meant workaround until we solve the problem

[derberg]

ah, sorry, you are right, this should work

There can be many reasons why some specific issue has no activity. The most probable cause is lack of time, not lack of interest. AsyncAPI Initiative is a Linux Foundation project not owned by a single for-profit company. It is a community-driven initiative ruled under open governance model.

.@derberg I want to start on this issue. Can i take this.? I have already valid MR merged more than 3 in asyncpai. https://github.com/search?q=is%3Apr+author%3AAayushSaini101+org%3Aasyncapi+is%3Amerged&type=pullrequests

@derberg I want to start on this issue. Can i take this.? I have already valid MR merged more than 3 in asynccpai

I have made changes how can I debug? I need some guidelines to debug. Can you please tell

[chinma-yyy]

Hey, can I work on this issue?

[codingmickey]

Hey! Can I work on this issue? I beleive I can do this

[princerajpoot20]

Hey @derberg, I would like to work on this.

I am an active contributor at AsyncAPI. Here is the list of my merged PRs.

Proposal

Taking PR #877 as a base, we have to make these changes:

1. Add typedef for RegistryOptions: Create a typedef declaration for the RegistryOptions object.

/**
 * @typedef {Object} RegistryOptions
 * @property {String} url - Npm registry URL.
 * @property {String} [username] - Username for npm registry authentication.
 * @property {String} [password] - Base64 encoded password for npm registry authentication.
 * @property {String} [token] - Auth token for npm registry authentication.
 */

2. Update the Constructor JSDoc: we will get a nice API docs generated
* @param {RegistryOptions} [options.registry] - Optional npm registry configuration.

[derberg]

Only 2 candidates can be considered for this issue, it is @AayushSaini101 and @princerajpoot20
Looking at bounty rules:

Think on the task, make sure that you understand how to do it and CAN do it

Although they did not have to open a PR (did it to quick), they proved he understands the scope and what he is signing up for. Hint for others in future, you can do the same without opening a PR, but just writing transparently in the comment what do you know about the issue

Regular contributors (GitHub users who have three or more Pull Requests merged throughout the AsyncAPI GitHub Organization, checked with https://github.com/search?q=is%3Apr+org%3Aasyncapi+is%3Amerged+author%3Agh_username)

Both folks also made it super easy for me to quickly click on the link to confirm if they already had 3PR merged

---

Instead of going with some "coin flipping" solution, I decided to give this issue to @AayushSaini101 as he is not involved in any other AsyncAPI program (like mentorship)

Due to unpredicted circumstances that could not be foreseen and are beyond the control of the AsyncAPI Maintainer (@derberg), the Bounty Issue's Timeline is frozen for an indefinite amount of time.

[aeworxet]

AsyncAPI Maintainer (@derberg) had regained a confident online presence in Slack, so the Bounty Issue's Timeline is extended by four weeks.

[derberg]

@aeworxet hey, thanks for reaching out about that topic. So yeah, I'd like to propose that we change this issue from Medium to Advanced. When medium level for this issue was assigned, I forgot to take into account advanced testing that will have o be added in a PR to test properly new functionality. I hope we have budget and can pay @AayushSaini101 at the end of the task for advanced work.

[aeworxet]

Upon request of the AsyncAPI Maintainer (@derberg) Complexity Level of this Bounty Issue has been reclassified to Advanced and its Timeline changed.
