--- name: "🚀 Fix npm Package Publishing" description: "Verify and fix npm package publishing configuration in release workflow" labels: ["bug", "release", "npm", "high-priority"] assignees: - "tosinakinosho" --- ## 🚨 Problem Description The release workflow is configured to publish to npm, but the package "documcp" is not found on the npm registry, indicating either publication failures or configuration issues. **Current Behavior:** - Release workflow includes npm publish step - NPM_TOKEN secret is presumably configured - However, package is not accessible on npm registry - No error handling or verification for publication failures **Impact:** - Users cannot install via `npm install documcp` - Release process is incomplete - Missing distribution channel for the package ## 🎯 Expected Behavior - npm package "documcp" should be publicly accessible - Release workflow should successfully publish new versions - Publication failures should be properly handled and reported - Package should be installable via `npm install documcp` ## 🔧 Solution Proposal ### Phase 1: Investigation 1. **Verify NPM_TOKEN secret** exists in GitHub repository settings 2. **Check npm registry access** with current token 3. **Test publication locally** using dry-run mode 4. **Review npm account permissions** and package ownership ### Phase 2: Implementation 1. **Add publication verification** step to release workflow: ```yaml - name: Verify npm publication run: | npm view documcp@${{ github.ref_name }} || echo "Package not yet published" ``` 2. **Implement error handling** for publication failures: ```yaml - name: Publish to npm run: npm publish || echo "Publication failed" env: NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }} ``` 3. **Add retry mechanism** for transient failures ### Phase 3: Validation 1. **Test complete release flow** from tag to publication 2. **Verify package accessibility** on npm registry 3. **Test installation** via `npm install documcp` 4. **Document installation instructions** in README ## 📋 Acceptance Criteria - [ ] npm package "documcp" is publicly accessible on npm registry - [ ] Release workflow successfully publishes new versions - [ ] Publication failures are properly logged and handled - [ ] Package can be installed via `npm install documcp` - [ ] README includes npm installation instructions ## 🔍 Technical Details **Relevant Files:** - `.github/workflows/release.yml` (lines 122-126) - `package.json` (publish configuration) - GitHub repository secrets (NPM_TOKEN) **Dependencies:** - Requires valid npm account with publish permissions - Needs NPM_TOKEN secret with publish access - May require package namespace configuration ## ⚠️ Potential Issues 1. **npm organization permissions** - Package may need to be under user/organization scope 2. **2FA requirements** - npm may require 2FA for publication 3. **Name availability** - "documcp" name might be taken 4. **Token permissions** - NPM_TOKEN might have insufficient permissions ## 📚 References - [npm Publishing Documentation](https://docs.npmjs.com/packages-and-modules/contributing-packages-to-the-registry) - [GitHub Actions npm Authentication](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/publishing-packages/publishing-nodejs-packages) - [npm Token Management](https://docs.npmjs.com/creating-and-viewing-access-tokens) ## 🎪 Priority: High This blocks the primary distribution channel for the package and affects user adoption.
