Support private feeds that require auth with the Unity 3D Packages datasource

[bdovaz]

Tell us more.

It uses the same system as NPM, that is:

• Requires an .npmrc file
• For example, for Azure DevOps artifacts requires an entry in this format for each record: //myFeed/test/path/:_auth=$base64UserAndPassword

My question is, how can I support authentication in this data source?

If you guide me a little, I can create the PR as I have done with everything related to Unity so far.

I would expect that this works already with hostRules

[bdovaz]

But why would it work automatically? If there is nothing in the Unity3D packages datasource that interprets those host rules and transfers them to an .npmrc file, etc...

Who is responsible for this and how can I debug whether or not it is being done?

Thanks

hostRules are applied at the http layer independently of the datasource itself

[bdovaz]

It's my fault.

I had:

"hostRules": [
    {
      "hostType": "unity3d-packages",
      "matchHost": "https://dev.azure.com/{organization-name}/",
      "token": "{PAT}"
    }
]

When it should be:

"hostRules": [
    {
      "hostType": "unity3d-packages",
      "matchHost": "https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/{organization-name}/",
      "token": "{PAT}"
    }
]

In the azure-pipelines-tasks data source, the first one is configured, but for unity3d-packages, a slight change is needed in the matchHost: the pkgs. prefix.
