[Question] Can I fetch dependacies from a private repo?

[khamiltonuk]

Firstly thank you for your repo

What's the problem
I have supplied my github token and my .npmrc but it I still get 401 Unauthorized when trying to fetch my dependancies

this is my config

name: End-to-end tests
on: [push]
jobs:
  cypress-run:
    runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Cypress install
        uses: cypress-io/github-action@v4
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          NPM_RC: ${{ secrets.NPM_RC }}
      # Install NPM dependencies, cache them correctly
      # and run all Cypress tests
      - name: Cypress run
        uses: cypress-io/github-action@v4

but this is my output

Run cypress-io/github-action@v4
/usr/local/bin/yarn --frozen-lockfile

@khamiltonuk did you solve it? Thanks!

[khamiltonuk]

@max-sym nope, Never managed to solve it, just abandoned it. I will give it another try tomorrow. Perhaps the future version of me is more competent than the past version of me

It may sound radical, but my solution was to not use cypress github action and do everything manually :D

name: 'E2E Tests'

on:
  pull_request:

jobs:
  E2E:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout the repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Setup Node
        uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          # IMPORTANT: We must not use yarn cache here, otherwise you will get an error with Cypress binary not found
          node-version: '16'
          registry-url: 'https://npm.pkg.github.com'
      - run: yarn install --frozen-lockfile
        env:
          NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.YOUR_TOKEN }}
      - name: Build app
        run: yarn build
      - name: Run app in background
        run: yarn start & yarn wait-on http://localhost:8000 --timeout 5000
      - name: Run Cypress tests
        run: yarn cypress run
      - name: Upload screenshots of failed e2e tests
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
        if: failure()
        with:
          name: cypress-screenshots
          path: cypress/screenshots
      - name: Upload videos of e2e tests
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
        if: failure()
        with:
          name: cypress-videos
          path: cypress/videos

And with cache:

name: 'E2E Tests'

on:
  pull_request:

jobs:
  E2E:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout the repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/cache@v3
        with:
          path: |
            ~/.cache/Cypress
            node_modules
          key: e2e-cache-${{ hashFiles('yarn.lock') }}
      - name: Setup Node
        uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: '16'
          registry-url: 'https://npm.pkg.github.com'
      - run: yarn install --frozen-lockfile
        env:
          NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.YOUR_TOKEN }}
      - name: Build app
        run: yarn build
      - name: Run app in background
        run: yarn start & yarn wait-on http://localhost:8000 --timeout 5000
      - name: Run Cypress tests
        run: yarn cypress run
      - name: Upload screenshots of failed e2e tests
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
        if: failure()
        with:
          name: cypress-screenshots
          path: cypress/screenshots
      - name: Upload videos of e2e tests
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
        if: failure()
        with:
          name: cypress-videos
          path: cypress/videos

I was able to solve doing the following:

- name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Authenticate with npm registry
        run: |
            echo "//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=${{ secrets.GitHubToken }}" >> ~/.npmrc
      - name: Cypress run

Import piece is make sure it's after checkout so npmrc registered against repo. Also before Cypress Run so repo has it.
