Use this task to install and publish npm packages.

Note

The npm Authenticate task is the recommended way to authenticate with Azure Artifacts. This task no longer takes new features and only critical bugs are addressed.

Note

In Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2018 and previous versions, build and release pipelines are called definitions, runs are called builds, service connections are called service endpoints, stages are called environments, and jobs are called phases.

    FAQ

    Where can I learn npm commands and arguments?

    npm docs

    Do I need an agent?

    You need at least one agent to run your build or release.

    I'm having problems. How can I troubleshoot them?

    See Troubleshoot Build and Release.

    I can't select a default agent pool and I can't queue my build or release. How do I fix this?

    See Agent pools.

    My NuGet push task is failing with the following error: "Error: unable to get local issuer certificate". How can I fix this?

    This can be fixed by adding a trusted root certificate. You can either add the NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=file environment variable to your build agent, or you can add the NODE.EXTRA.CA.CERTS=file task variable in your pipeline. See Node.js documentation for more details about this variable. See Set variables in a pipeline for instructions on setting a variable in your pipeline.

    I use TFS on-premises and I don't see some of these features. Why not?

    Some of these features are available only on Azure Pipelines and not yet available on-premises. Some features are available on-premises if you have upgraded to the latest version of TFS.

    My Pipeline needs to access a feed in a different project

    If the pipeline is running in a different project than the project hosting the feed, you must set up the other project to grant read/write access to the build service. See Package permissions in Azure Pipelines for more details.
