yarn publish in a script requires user interaction

[jnfingerle]

yarn publish (0.18.1, node 6.3.1, Windows) is no drop in replacement for npm publish when used in a script: Using an auth token in my .npmrc, npm publish runs without user interaction, yarn publish asks for a new version number. It would be greate to have a way to publish without interaction.

To answer the questions not yet asked: It's our in house sinopia and publishing is restricted to our build bot. Therefore the new version number is always checked in before publishing.

I too would like to have a way to publish on npm using yarn, I already manage the version number bump in my scripts.

As a side note, npm publish inside a yarn release command that runs some shell script will fail on the auth part, only npm publish not run from a yarn subshell will work.

Carrying on the conversation from #722, yarn publish prompts for a version, which means it can't be used as a drop in replacement for npm publish.

npm publish behavior is to use the value of the version field in package.json.

Closing as a dup of #610 since the longer conversation is held there.

@rally25rs I don't see any mention of this particular problem (yarn publish requiring input for the password) in #610, so was this perhaps closed in error? I am still facing this issue, in conjunction with lerna/lerna#1200

@lehni the original post states

yarn publish asks for a new version number. It would be greate to have a way to publish without interaction.

which is mentioned in comment #610 (comment) which is why I closed it as a duplicate.

If you could add a comment to #610 for the password issue, it would be helpful. Thanks!
