I am working through Digital Asset Getting Started with Node.js bindings.

Running

npm install @da/daml-ledger

causes the following error message

npm ERR! code E401
npm ERR! 401 Unauthorized: @da/daml-ledger@latest

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /...../.npm/_logs/2019-02-22T17_48_44_560Z-debug.log

here are the contents of that log file:

I followed the instructions in step 1 and step 2. my .npmrc is updated with the response I received from entering

curl -umehul@digitalassetsdk:<API_KEY> https://api.bintray.com/npm/digitalassetsdk/npm/auth/scope/da

and I entered the command 

npm config set @da:registry https://api.bintray.com/npm/digitalassetsdk/npm

What is causing the error?

    Hi Meyer. Unfortunately Bintray seem to have had a few issues lately, would you mind just trying again a few times to see if it succeeds? – stefanobaghino Feb 24 '19 at 06:27
  • Tried again and still it having the same problem. – Meyer Auslander Feb 25 '19 at 16:18
  • Are there any requirements for what needs to be input when I run 'npm init'? – Meyer Auslander Feb 25 '19 at 16:20
  • When I went to update my .npmrc I noticed it did not exist. So I created it myself. Maybe this gives a clue as to what is the problem?? – Meyer Auslander Feb 25 '19 at 17:01
  • @MeyerAuslander does it work for you now after creating and updating the `.npmrc`? Here are my `.npmrc` which works on the ping pong example. ``` @da:registry=https://api.bintray.com/npm/digitalassetsdk/npm/ //api.bintray.com/npm/digitalassetsdk/npm/:_authToken=[INSERT_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] //api.bintray.com/npm/digitalassetsdk/npm/:username=daniel.sun@digitalassetsdk //api.bintray.com/npm/digitalassetsdk/npm/:email=null //api.bintray.com/npm/digitalassetsdk/npm/:always-auth=true ``` – dsun Feb 26 '19 at 01:51
  • Yes, the missing `~/.npmrc` is definitely the problem; as the instructions say, the output of `curl` as to be pasted (or piped) there. – stefanobaghino Feb 26 '19 at 06:11
  • Today `npm install @da/daml-ledger` works fine. Before it wasn't working even though I had created the ~/.npmrc. I guess the problem with Bintary was fixed. – Meyer Auslander Feb 26 '19 at 17:06
  • But this time I did not run the `npm config` command. It seems `npm config` was causing the problem--because now if I run it and then retry running `npm install @da/daml-ledger`, I get the same authorization error I had yesterday... – Meyer Auslander Feb 26 '19 at 17:12
  • Also I am now stuck on the step that says to run `npm install` inside the 'ping-pong' directory. I get the same authorization error. – Meyer Auslander Feb 26 '19 at 17:29

From the comments it appears you missed a step of the setup, namely as the instructions tell you to paste the response of curl to ~/.npmrc.

The response should be pasted in the ~/.npmrc (in Windows %USERPROFILE%/.npmrc) file.

As an alternative, on Linux and MacOS you can just pipe the output of curl to ~/.npmrc as follows:

curl -u<USERNAME>:<API_KEY> https://api.bintray.com/npm/digitalassetsdk/npm/auth/scope/da >> ~/.npmrc

Using the >> operator will preserve the current content of ~/.npmrc and append the output of curl to the file (or create it if it's not there yet). If you want to overwrite the current ~/.npmrc file, just use the > operator instead.

The Bintary 'Set Me Up' Instructions (referenced in step 1.3 of https://docs.daml.com/app-dev/bindings-js/getting-started.html) say to run a curl command and the to run

npm config set @<SCOPE>:registry https://api.bintray.com/npm/digitalassetsdk/npm

When I skip the npm config step I have no problems.

  • But now I have a problem when Retrieving the package identifiers (https://docs.daml.com/packages/bindings-js-docs/tutorial.html#retrieve-the-package-identifiers). Maybe because I skiped the `config` command? My template-ids.json looks wrong. Here are the contents: {"Car.Car":{"packageId":"9158c3e66ac2a78e427307b098f7a45e86ddcb40a9be6a26eea0d363e7b48a10","name":"Car.Car"}} It should have an entry for 'Ping' and 'Pong', not 'Car' – Meyer Auslander Feb 26 '19 at 18:24
