Description

ng add and update ignore npm global config

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

Define a private registry (it's also an proxy for publics packages)

npm config set registry https://myregistry/repository/myrepo/ --global

Set authentication

npm login --registry=https://myregistry/repository/myrepo/ 

Install angular/cli

npm install -g @angular/cli

And start a new project

ng new myproj

Ok project created and all dependencies installed (private registry checked in package-lock.json)

The problem starts here
I want to transform my project to pwa see

ng add @angular/pwa --project myproj

response : The add command requires to be run in an Angular project, but a project definition could not be found.
Ok change directory

cd myproj
ng add @angular/pwa

response : Unable to fetch package metadata: request to https://registry.npmjs.org/@angular%2fpwa failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT 104.16.26.35:443. (I'am also behind a enterprise proxy)

same result with update command, ng command want to access directly to registry.npmjs.org and not by private registry

Hi, I tried this out and global npmrc is being read.

ng add baz
Unable to fetch package metadata: request to https://myregistry/repository/myrepo/baz failed, reason: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND myregistry **myregistry:443**

Can you kindly check where your global npmrc is being saved?

[diyfr]

We need a real repository @alan-agius4 . myregistryis an example.
For resolve this issue i added registry
ng add @angular/pwa --registry=https://myregistry/repository/myrepo/ and it's work

In user directory, the file .npmrc contains credentials for registry, but not registry address.
The registry address is stored in %APPDATA%\roaming\npm\etc\npmrc
Location documentation

with ng update --registry=.... doesn't work

[StefanMuellerCH]

We have the same problem with @angular/cli 9.1.0.
The command ng update @angular/core produces

An unhandled exception occurred: request to https://registry.npmjs.org/@angular%2fcli failed, reason: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND registry.npmjs.org

even though our global npmrc specifies our company npm-registry - Output of npm config list is

; builtin config undefined
cache = "C:\Users\t196\AppData\Local\npm-cache"
prefix = "C:\Users\t196\AppData\Local\npm-global"
registry = "https://nexus.mycompany.com/repository/npm-all/"

; node bin location = C:\Program Files\nodejs\12.13.1\node.exe
; cwd = C:\Workspaces\my-app\ui

[StefanMuellerCH]

Btw, if the global npmrc is copied to the app working directory (.npmrc) the ng update command works correcly using our company registry, so a local config seems to be honored (but a global one should be too).

[SebastianKuehn]

We have the inverse issue. Our local .npmrc is ignored but if we copy the local file as user config it works.
The config contains the local registry and root certificate of our company:

$ ls .npmrc
.npmrc
$ ng update --verbose

Not sure if this is a diff issue, but we have our npm config entries set up in memory rather than in our npmrc files, and the correct values are used when we do a npm config list, however ng update seems to completely ignore those and instead use the ones in npmrc (which is the default, empty npmrc, doesn't have the correct values). This issue has been open a long time, is there going to be any fix for this?

[ericparton]

We're having the same problem with yarn. The local .yarnrc.yml file is completely ignored

[denpokoder]

I think I'm having a similar problem while updating from angular 11 to angular 12 :
npm config get registry returns the path to our artifactory registry
However, when I try ng update @angular/cli I get this:
npm ERR! code E403
npm ERR! 403 403 DefaultErrorTemplate - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/@angular%2fcli
npm ERR! 403 In most cases, you or one of your dependencies are requesting
npm ERR! 403 a package version that is forbidden by your security policy, or
npm ERR! 403 on a server you do not have access to.
Which is expected since the global registry access is blocked by the company proxy.
The command is not supposed to poke anything but the provided registry.

May I add that trying by hand calling https://mycompanyregistry/@angular%2fcli does work.
