Pull request overview

Syncs eng/common pipeline templates with upstream azure-sdk-tools changes by replacing the “delete repo .npmrc” approach with a reusable step template that sets the npm project registry.

Changes:

• Add a new reset-npmrc.yml steps template to set the npm project registry via npm config.
• Update npm-publish.yml to use the new template when publishing to https://registry.npmjs.org/ instead of deleting the repo .npmrc.

File	Description

This reset-npmrc step now runs even when SkipPublishing is set to true (e.g., when no packages are found and publishing is skipped). Previously the registry-change step was conditioned on ne(variables['SkipPublishing'], 'true'). Consider applying the same condition to this template call (or adding a CustomCondition parameter to the template) so the job doesn’t mutate npm config unnecessarily when publishing is skipped.

Suggested change

	- template: /eng/common/pipelines/templates/steps/reset-npmrc.yml
	- template: /eng/common/pipelines/templates/steps/reset-npmrc.yml
	condition: and(succeeded(), ne(variables['SkipPublishing'], 'true'))

[Copilot]

This template uses npm config ... --location=project, which writes to the .npmrc in the current working directory. Since the task doesn’t set workingDirectory, the update could end up in an unexpected folder (and not affect later npm commands that run elsewhere). Consider adding a WorkingDirectory parameter (or otherwise setting workingDirectory on the PowerShell task) so the project .npmrc is updated deterministically.
