verdaccio publish new package

Question

OS OpenSuse 15.2 I have trouble with publihing new packages to local npm proxy

Verdaccio version 5.1.0

1. I have installed verdaccio from npm

2. Added user verdaccio : id verdaccio uid=1001(verdaccio) gid=100(users) группы=100(users)

3. Added to config storage path params :

      storage: /npm/storage
      # path to a directory with plugins to include
      plugins: /npm/plugins
   
   

4. Run it

      warn --- config file  - /home/verdaccio/.config/verdaccio/config.yaml
      warn --- Plugin successfully loaded: verdaccio-htpasswd
      warn --- Plugin successfully loaded: verdaccio-audit
      warn --- http address - http://172.16.4.76:1234/ - verdaccio/5.1.0
   
   

5. Add npm user and set npm manager to register local proxy

   Username: verdaccio
   Password: 
   Email: (this IS public) 
   Logged in as verdaccio on http://172.16.4.76:1234/.
   
   

Then I cd to js module and do :

```# npm publish --registry http://172.16.4.76:1234/

Got an error : (npm )

What do I wrong ?

Answer 1

I've had this error two days ago. I tried everything, even updated to verdaccio 5.1.

My solution: in my package.json, there was a field "deprecated" set to false. I don't know how this got there, but once I removed it, I could publish again. Check your package.json and remove some fields you do not need, maybe you'll get lucky. Verdaccio error messages on the server do not mention anything about a malformed package.json.

Answer 2

One scenario I've found that can ostensibly cause this issue:

• Deploy the Verdaccio image in a compose-stack:
  • stood up with an empty package-database ✔️ (ergo your solution if you're doing the below)
  • stood up with a pre-existing volume mapped package database ❌
    • _if you look deeper you'll see verdaccio log this message: error--- indexer has failed on add item (presuming there is some kind of ownership issue here...)
