cannot unpublish a package

[p3x-robot]

My reason:

Cannot unpublish a package

Steps to reproduce:

For example, if I logout form Verdaccio, I see:

I login and it looks like this:

root@srv1:~# npm config get registry
https://npm.ngivr.sygnus.hu/
root@srv1:~# npm unpublish --force ng-ivr-material --registry https://npm.ngivr.sygnus.hu
npm WARN using --force I sure hope you know what you are doing.
- ng-ivr-material

Then I check if it is unpublished:

I see the log say this:

http <-- 403, user: undefined(127.0.0.1 via 127.0.0.1), req: 'GET /ng-ivr-material?write=true', error: unregistered users are not allowed to access package ng-ivr-material
 http <-- 403, user: undefined(192.168.140.88 via 127.0.0.1), req: 'GET /ng-ivr-material?write=true', error: unregistered users are not allowed to access package ng-ivr-material

But of course if i log out and try to install this package I cannot install, but if I login with npm login --registry https://npm.ngivr.sygnus.hu, I can install this package.

App Version:

root@srv1:~# verdaccio --version
Verdaccio doesn't need superuser privileges. Don't run it under root.
2.7.4
root@srv1:~# npm -v
5.6.0

This maximum amount of users reached is weird, because i am not trying to register, so I set it to -1. I set to 1, but the same error:

I think, something changed in NPM 5.6.0 because with Verdaccio the authToken is not generated.

Instead, now, it looks like this:

//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=********-****-****-****-********
//npm.patrikx3.com/:_authToken="*******************************************="
//registry.yarnpkg.com/:_authToken=********-****-****-****-********
config=registry
//npm.ngivr.sygnus.hu/:always-auth=false
//npm.ngivr.sygnus.hu/:_password=****************
//npm.ngivr.sygnus.hu/:username=sygnus
//npm.ngivr.sygnus.hu/:email=secure@email.com

[p3x-robot]

Right now, the only solution is like this:

docker run --rm -it node:9.2.0-alpine sh
/ # npm login --registry https://npm.company.com
Username: admin
Password:
Email: (this IS public) admin@company.com
Logged in as admin on https://npm.company.com/.
/ # cat ~/.npmrc
//npm.company.com/:_authToken=Rwl9t+GHjlgP+brFJ6WycIe1y6r3Z+ShUEqsLusmFC11w3n6ex8JdmkMoKv/0U/D
/ #

[p3x-robot]

Another solution is like this:

# project .npmrc
registry = "https://registry.acmeco.com"
ca = null
always-auth = true

[juanpicado]

Related or possible duplicated #509

[juanpicado]

@p3x-robot please check whether is a dupe and close this one and let's follow up #509

btw. amazing ;-) detailed bug description.

[PhilThurston]

We still cannot unpublish packages. and think that this issue should be repopened since #509 is solved

Even though tokens are properly generated now it looks like we still cannot unpublish packages

ubuntu@npm:~$ verdaccio --version
3.2.0
ubuntu@npm:~$ npm -v
6.1.0

[PhilThurston]

I'm so sorry. I spoke before double checking my work. It turns out there was an HTTP authentication issue happening after checking stdout. Thanks for the help we were able to upublish.

[juanpicado]

No problem @PhilThurston thanks for reporting! 👍
