Azure DevOps warning - Can't find loc string for key: Info_GotAndMaskAuth

Question

In Azure DevOps, while running the build, I am getting the following warning in the stage of NPM AUDIT:

##[warning]Can't find loc string for key: Info_GotAndMaskAuth

Here is my current YAML configuration

npm audit

  - task: Npm@1
    displayName: 'Audit'
    inputs:
      command: custom
      workingDir: 'Test-Project'
      verbose: false
      customCommand: audit

Please note that it is not impacting the build process

I tried updating the task to [email protected] which stopped the build process with the following warning

A task is missing. The pipeline references a task called 'Npm'. This usually indicates the task isn't installed, and you may be able to install it from the Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com. (Task version 1.124.1, job 'Build', step ''.)

Any suggestion to solve this warning?

Answer 1

As @JSON Derulo mentioned, there is an known issue on the Npm@1 task.

As a workaround, you can try to use the script task or Npm@0 task to run the command.

- script: 'npm audit'
  displayName: 'Audit'
  workingDirectory: 'Test-Project'

Or

- task: Npm@0
  displayName: 'Audit'
  inputs:
    cwd: 'Test-Project'
    command: 'audit'
