My main goal in utilizing CodeArtifact for my project was to effectively manage third-party npm and pypi dependencies. However, I encountered unexpected issues while attempting to work with npm.
To address this, I set up a domain and a primary repository named "MainRepo" within CodeArtifact, incorporating two upstream stores: npm ("npm-store") and pypi ("pypi-store"). Following this, I established a local folder on my PC and configured the connection to "MainRepo" using AWS CLI, specifying npm as the tool. After confirming that npm was successfully pointing to my repository by running:
npm -d ping
I proceeded to install husky and commitlint:
npm install husky --save-dev
npm install @commitlint/cli --save-dev
At this stage, I expected to see these packages (along with their dependencies) reflected in my main repository or at least in the npm-store. To my surprise, none of them appeared. Despite several attempts wherein I installed various other packages, none were included in CodeArtifact.
As a last resort, I attempted to install aws-cdk globally using:
npm install -g aws-cdk
This installation was successful and displayed in my repository within the CodeArtifact console.
I am puzzled as to why the previously mentioned packages were overlooked by CodeArtifact. Any insights into this issue would be greatly appreciated.
