Empty package with custom package register

[raspberry-jenshen]

Hi there!

Thanks for such an awesome tool!

Version: 3.1.0
Could you help me with an issue?

The aim:
I want to upload the package with a different name (not with the name of the module)

The config:

npmPublish {
    access.set(PUBLIC)
    version.set(rootProject.version.toString())

    registries {
        register("gameServerNpm") {
            authToken.set("TOKEN")
            uri.set("https://registry.npmjs.org")
        }
    }
    packages {
        register("gameServerLib") {
            packageName.set("server_game_logic_deb")
        }
    }
}

Then I have to start the Gradle task like to publish the package:
publishGameServerLibPackageToGameServerNpmRegistry

BUT

The package is empty.

If I remove the package block if will work fine.

However, I need to change the package name.

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance!

Hey. You're confusing gradle APIs for creating a new package (register) and modifying an existing package that the plugin autogenerates for your kotlin js targets (named). For your useCase, you have two options.

Option 1:
Continue using register api and add all your package files explicitly via files api https://npm-publish.petuska.dev/3.1/user-guide/configuration/package/#files
You can further automate it by adding kotlin js library distribution task as a dependency to package's assemble task so that kotlin stuff is built automatically whenever you try to assemble the package.

Option 2 (recommended):
Use named("your kotlin js rarget name") api and change npm package name via packageName api https://npm-publish.petuska.dev/3.1/user-guide/configuration/package/#packageName

Let me know which option you went with and if you managed to solve your issue.

Thanks for the quick answer!

If we are talking about option 2.

The solution is:

npmPublish {
    access.set(PUBLIC)
    version.set(rootProject.version.toString())

    registries {
        npmjs {
            authToken.set("TOKEN")
        }
    }
    packages {
        named("js") {
            packageName.set("your_lib_name")
        }
    }
}

Thanks!

You don't need to set version either - the plugin does that by default too.

Also I believe access is public by default as well 😀
