Rationale
The alpha versions of our NPM packages never get removed unless we do that manually, and currently the manual method for doing this within the Artifactory web application requires finding and clicking on each version separately. Even filtering to the proper versions within the Artifactory UI is not really possible. Here we add a new task that uses an npm command to find the versions and the Artifactory REST API to do the deletions. Though I might have liked to use
npm unpublishto remove the alpha versions, that command does not work, possibly due to this long-standing issue.Related Pull Requests
