I have two npm packages that are private repositories hosted on gitlab.com under a group organization. My first package lives well and get updated and downloaded by users of the same organisation.
To install a private scoped package, the doc says:
# Set URL for your scoped packages.
# For example package with name `@foo/bar` will use this URL for download
npm config set @foo:registry https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/<your_project_id>/packages/npm/
So my .npmrc looked like
@mygroup:registry=https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/<id-project-1>/packages/npm/
//gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/<id-project-1>/packages/npm/:_authToken=<token>
//gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/<id-project-2>/packages/npm/:_authToken=<token>
//gitlab.com/api/v4/packages/npm/:_authToken=<token>
Obviously, everything works fine for the first package but not for the second one.
What I can't understand is why a scoped package should refer to a unique project url?
Because of this, I can't install both of my packages: the url of my scoped packages will only be valid for one of them.
I looked at the api endpoint to return a list of my group's packages I found this: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/packages.html#within-a-group
So I updated my .npmrc to
@mygroup:registry=https://gitlab.com/api/v4/groups/mygroup/packages/npm/
//gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/<id-project-1>/packages/npm/:_authToken=<token>
//gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/<id-project-2>/packages/npm/:_authToken=<token>
//gitlab.com/api/v4/packages/npm/:_authToken=<token>
But it doesn't work.
On the group/group-id/packages route I only get gitlab infos but nothing in an npm friendly format.
How to install more than one private scoped npm package hosted under the same group?
The instance level endpoint seems answer to your situation instance-level-npm-endpoint
Using:
npm config set @mygroup:registry https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/packages/npm/
npm config set -- '//gitlab.example.com/api/v4/packages/npm/:_authToken' "<your_token>"
You should be able to publish @mygroup/project1 & @mygroup/project2
