Yarn doesn't read from .npmrc Files for custom registry settings

[raybooysen]

With an .npmrc file like below:

registry=http://local-npm-install:8080

It seems yarn will not respect this and try the normal NPM upstream.

I wonder, so Facebook doesn't have internal registry for private stuff? Or it's just not yet implemented for open source?

Even worse - it uses the yarn registry config when asked to fetch from npm:

 class NpmRegistry extends (_baseRegistry || _load_baseRegistry()).default {
   /* ... */

   request(pathname) {
     // ...
-    const registry = (0, (_misc || _load_misc()).removeSuffix)(String(this.registries.yarn.getOption('registry')), '/');
+    const registry = (0, (_misc || _load_misc()).removeSuffix)(String(this.registries.npm.getOption('registry')), '/');

Workaround - put the following into a .yarnrc file in the project root:

registry "https://my-registry.corp"

@jkrems What is the syntax for scoped registries?

@scope:registry "http://place.com"

throws an unknown token error

@tyrsius It's a custom file format (src/lockfile/parse.js). I reverse engineered just enough to make my example above work. ;)

Would be awesome if yarn can address this issue as I work with internal registry daily.

Anyone figured out yet how to configure ca values?

Complete blocker to using this tool. Changed the registry in yarn config (because "drop in replacement for npm"!! 🤔), yarn login'd, no dice.

This is a blocker to Airbnb using yarn - just like yarn uses package.json, it should also use every other npm configuration method (.npmrc, as well as all the case-insensitive environment variables npm respects).

I tested putting:

"@mycorp:registry" "https://my-registry.corp"

in my projects yarnrc, it does not appear to work

For registries requiring auth, some work might be needed as well. For example, our .npmrc file looks like this:

registry=https://my-registry.com
_auth=some_auth_token
email=test@example.com
always-auth=true

Couldn't find a way to make a .yarnrc file that did the same thing.

I have the same issue
