Azure Pipeline - npm install error 403 with Azure Feed

My NPM install step is configured to use registries in .npmrc,

config My .npmrc is as follows

registry=https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/xxx/xxxx-xxxx-xxxx/_packaging/design-system/npm/registry/

always-auth=true

The Azure Artifacts feed is set-up, and a local npm install from my dev machine works completely fine. azure artifacts

However the pipeline's npm install job always fails with error 403.

npm install in pipeline

What am I doing wrong here? I've also tried changing the npm install task to use Registry I select here, and linking it to my "design-system" feed directly, but it results in the same error. I've followed all the steps here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/artifacts/npm/npmrc?view=azure-devops&tabs=windows, but it just doesn't work. Thanks

Solution

  • Problem solved. What I had to do was go under into the feed -> settings -> permissions, and add the ...Build Service... as a Contributor.

    solved

    Microsoft should really add this as part of their documentation. Took me several hours of random attempts before I found it..
