Static-web-apps: Azure Devops pipeline with private artifact feed

[krisnuttall]

Building static web apps from devops is looking good and easy to use. However we have run into a problem where we have some npm packages from our private feed, this is defined in our .npmrc file, however it appears to have problems installing packages.

.npmrc

registry=https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/xxx/_packaging/yyy/npm/registry/
always-auth=true; 

For a normal pipeline build (using npm) we can define the feed in npm parameters:

      - task: Npm@1
        name: NpmInstall
        inputs:
          command: 'install'
          workingDir: 'Clients/React'
          customRegistry: 'useFeed'
          customFeed: 'xxx'

Is it possible to specify a customFeed in the same way using the SPA pipeline task?

The pipeline output is:

Running 'npm install --unsafe-perm --production'...

npm ERR! code E401

@krisnuttall To get around this for now, build your app in separate steps and use the AzureStaticWebApp task to publish only. To do this, set the app_location to the build output location from the previous step (build, dist, etc). Leave output_location empty.

Thanks @anthonychu the workaround works well:

      - task: npmBuild
        .....

      - task: AzureStaticWebApp@0
        inputs:
          app_location: 'Clients/React/build'
        env:
          azure_static_web_apps_api_token: xxx

We have a similar or same issue for a Blazor WebAssembly that uses a private Azure DevOps artifact.

- task: AzureStaticWebApp@0
  inputs:
    app_location: "scream4meV2.AdminTool"
    api_location: "" 
    output_location: "wwwroot"

  env:
      azure_static_web_apps_api_token: $(deployment_token)

gives the following error when run:
