The whole point of using something like CodeArtifact in my project was to manage 3rd-party npm and pypi dependencies, but it doesn't seem to work as expected with npm.
I've created in CodeArtifact a domain and a main repository called "MainRepo" with two upstreams stores: npm ("npm-store") and pipy ("pipy-store"). Then locally in my PC I've created a new folder and setup the connection using AWS CLI to "MainRepo" specifying npm as tool. After checking successfully that npm is now pointing to my repository with:
npm -d ping
I proceeded to install husky and commitlint:
npm install husky --save-dev
npm install @commitlint/cli --save-dev
At this point would expected to see those packages (and their dependencies) showing up in my main repository (or at least the npm-store) but to my surprise neither of them where listed. Then I've made a number of tests, installing other packages but not a single one got added.
Finally I've tried with:
npm install -g aws-cdk
and this was indeed added to my repo and showing up in the CodeArtifact console.
Any clues on why the others packages got ignored by CodeArtifact?
