Answer 1

As hinted by other answers here, the root cause of the above error is that GPR (unlike https://www.npmjs.com/) requires that packages have a scope.

However, it seems that all other suggested solutions (updating package.json and etc.) would not allow to keep publishing the package to https://www.npmjs.com/ without a scope. Here's my solution that allows both:

Assuming that:

1. package.json contains simple package name without scope as often is the case when publishing public packages to https://www.npmjs.com/
2. GitHub Workflow is configured using GitHub's Node.js Package template

Add additional step to publish-gpr job before the run: npm ci default step in order to dynamically insert current repository's owner into package name in package.json:

- name: Insert repository owner as scope into package name
  run: |
    node < JSON.parse(data)).then((json) => {
        json.name = '@$(echo "$GITHUB_REPOSITORY" | sed 's/\/.\+//')/' + json.name;
        console.info('Package name changed to %s', json.name);
        return fs.writeFile('package.json', JSON.stringify(json), 'utf8');
    }).catch(error => {
        console.error(error);
        process.exit(1);
    });
    EOF
