Unable to publish package for the first time

[abhishiv]

Hello,

It seems that with v2, I can't publish the package for the first time. Or am I doing something wrong?

    - id: publish
      uses: JS-DevTools/npm-publish@v2
      with:
        registry: "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
        token: ${{ inputs.dir }}
        access: "public"
        package: ./${{ inputs.dir }}/package.json
    - if: steps.publish.outputs.type != 'none'
      run: |
        echo "Version changed: ${{ steps.publish.outputs.old-version }} => ${{ steps.publish.outputs.version }}"
      shell: bash

Error

EDIT: I'm able to publish from my desktop, but not via this action. Also tried regenerating the token. I published the first version from my desktop, but now I'm not even able to publish new version via the action.

Hi @abhishiv! I see two definite mistakes in the configuration you posted

The token input must be your npm token. Typically, one would store this in GH Actions secrets as secrets.NPM_TOKEN or secrets.NODE_AUTH_TOKEN. Instead, your configuration has this...

token: ${{ inputs.dir }}

...which is definitely wrong, and probably causing the error.

You have a second mistake, which your code isn't yet reaching due to the first error:

- if: steps.publish.outputs.type != 'none'

This condition is correct for v1 of this action but incorrect for v2. For v2, this should simply be:

- if: steps.publish.outputs.type

Please see the README file for further details, and let me know if correcting these configuration errors resolves your issue

Hey @mcous

Sorry for my silly mistakes and the false alarm! Yes, the problem was indeed with my configuration and not the action. The things you pointed out were indeed the issue and I was able to publish after fixing them!

Thank you for a very valuable action!
