Can't publish to npm

[kamilbiela]

Hi,

Im trying to use your github action to publish to npm without luck:
action log: https://github.com/kamilbiela/cdk-sqs-monitored/runs/593279090?check_suite_focus=true

gh action workflow: https://github.com/kamilbiela/cdk-sqs-monitored/blob/e59b5f740146241eda68abf646c1f5c52d2915d7/.github/workflows/nodejs.yml

Using just npm publish in github action seems to be working, so secret should be ok:

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here :/

Hi Kamil,

I forked your repo and played a bit with it. The problem is this line: https://github.com/kamilbiela/cdk-sqs-monitored/blob/5934e7460c012d8bccd5aba67e96c5c067008de1/.github/workflows/nodejs.yml#L23

The actions/setup-node action sets authentication information in the environment, if the registry-url option is set. The jsii-publish action defines the auth info in a file. The env definition has precedence over the file and therefore the NPM_TOKEN is never used.

I should probably also use the env approach or unset the env before the publish action. Thanks for letting me know about this.

In the meantime you can just remove the registry-url option. I think it only makes a difference if you want to publish directly via npm publish anyway.

Let me know if that works.

Cheers,
Daniel

Removing registry-url fixes the issue, thank you very much :)
