After smoothly using fontawesome for several months without any problems, I encountered an error today while attempting to push my app to production.
An unexpected error occurred: "https://npm.fontawesome.com/@fortawesome/fontawesome-pro/-/6.1.1/fontawesome-pro-6.1.1.tgz: Request failed "401 Unauthorized"".
Despite trying various solutions such as running yarn install, deleting node_modules, and removing yarn.lock, the 401 unauthorized error persisted. I even uninstalled and reinstalled all fontawesome packages.
Using Yarn instead of NPM adds another layer of complexity to this issue. I have a .npmrc file set up with the following content:
// .npmrc
@fortawesome:registry=https://npm.fontawesome.com/
//npm.fontawesome.com/:_authToken="my-token"
Additionally, there is a .yarnrc.yml file in place:
// .yarnrc.yml
npmScopes:
fortawesome:
npmRegistryServer: "https://npm.fontawesome.com/"
npmAlwaysAuth: true
npmAuthToken: "my-token"
Provided below is my package.json:
{
"name": "br-client",
"version": "0.1.0",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
...
},
"dependencies": {
...
},
"devDependencies": {
