Fontawesome giving 401 unauthorized error during build process

I've been using fontawesome with no issues for months. Today, I started seeing this error whenever I tried to push my app to production.

error An unexpected error occurred: "https://npm.fontawesome.com/@fortawesome/fontawesome-pro/-/6.1.1/fontawesome-pro-6.1.1.tgz: Request failed \"401 Unauthorized\"".

I've tried running yarn install, removing node_modules, removing yarn.lock, etc. and I still get 401 unauthorized. I even uninstalled and reinstalled all fontawesome packages.

I'm using Yarn, not NPM, so not sure if that has something to do with it. I do have a .npmrc file set up and that looks like:

// .npmrc

@fortawesome:registry=https://npm.fontawesome.com/
//npm.fontawesome.com/:_authToken="my-token"

I also have a .yarnrc.yml file

// .yarnrc.yml

npmScopes:
  fortawesome:
    npmRegistryServer: "https://npm.fontawesome.com/"
    npmAlwaysAuth: true
    npmAuthToken: "my-token"

Here's my package.json:

Solution

  • Answering my own question. The issue ended up being with my dockerfile. According to the fontawesome installation instructions you need to run these two commands in your terminal:

    npm config set "@fortawesome:registry" https://npm.fontawesome.com/
npm config set "//npm.fontawesome.com/:_authToken" "your token here"

    But, if you use docker you'll need to add these two commands to your dockerfile:

    RUN npm config set "@fortawesome:registry" https://npm.fontawesome.com/
RUN npm config set "//npm.fontawesome.com/:_authToken" "your token here"

    That way, the config gets set when you deploy.

    So my whole dockerfile now looks like...

    FROM node:14-alpine

WORKDIR /usr/src/app
RUN npm config set "@fortawesome:registry" https://npm.fontawesome.com/
RUN npm config set "//npm.fontawesome.com/:_authToken" "my token"
COPY package*.json ./
COPY yarn.lock ./
RUN yarn install

COPY . .

RUN yarn build

EXPOSE 3000

CMD [ "yarn", "start" ]
