We use Azure DevOps onPremise (Azure DevOps Server 2020 Update 1). There we have two collections. "Libraries" and "Projects".
The "Libraries" collection contains a project that hosts an npm artifact feed.
We can run a pipeline in the "Libraries" project and access packages from the feed (e.g. via npm install).
Additonally, we have a pipeline in a "Projects" collection project, were we created a "Service Connection" ('iconenpm') to the "Libraries" npm feed using a PAT. (This PAT was created for the pipeline user and is BASE64 encoded).
The PAT is also added to the pipeline user's %userprofile%\.npmrc file.
However, we are not able to successfully run an npm install.
This is the task:
- task: Npm@1
displayName: 'npm install'
inputs:
command: 'install'
customEndpoint: 'iconenpm'
and the error:
npm ERR! code E401
npm ERR! Unable to authenticate, your authentication token seems to be invalid.
npm ERR! To correct this please trying logging in again with:
npm ERR! npm login
...
additonal log output
...
2085 error code E401
2086 error Unable to authenticate, your authentication token seems to be invalid.
One note: when there is no package from our custom feed in the package.json, the pipeline works fine. As soon as we want to access some package via the Service Connection, the pipeline fails.
Does anyone have some suggestions?
