npm adduser via bash

Question

I want to automate the npm login process via a bash script.

I tried it with this snippet:

/usr/bin/expect -f - <

        

Answer 1

I had this issue but the only way of getting round it was to wrap expect into a docker image. You can use it like so:

docker run \
    -e NPM_USER=$NPM_USER \
    -e NPM_PASS=$NPM_PASS \
    -e NPM_EMAIL=$NPM_EMAIL \
    bravissimolabs/generate-npm-authtoken \
    > ~/.npmrc
