- Around line 3-8: Add a top-level permissions setting with contents restricted
to read in the dry-run workflow, alongside the existing workflow trigger and
before jobs. Leave the dry-run job configuration unchanged.
In @.github/workflows/publish.yml:
- Around line 16-17: Update the actions/checkout@v4 step in
.github/workflows/publish.yml at lines 16-17 and .github/workflows/dry-run.yml
at lines 10-11 to set persist-credentials to false, disabling checkout token
persistence in both workflows.
- Around line 8-10: Update the release workflow permissions and publishing setup
to use npm Trusted Publishing for package microblink/blinkid-react-native with
workflow publish.yml; upgrade npm to version 11.5.1 or later before publishing,
and remove registry-url configuration so token-based npm settings are not
generated.

npm Trusted Publishers GitHub Actions exact repository workflow filename npm publish OIDC NODE_AUTH_TOKEN npm 11.5 Node 22
💡 Result:
To successfully use npm Trusted Publishers with GitHub Actions, your configuration must account for strict requirements regarding the npm CLI version, OIDC permissions, and authentication variables. NPM Version Requirement npm Trusted Publishing (OIDC) requires npm CLI 11.5.1 or later [1][2][3]. Node 22 ships with npm 10.x, which does not support the OIDC exchange [2][4]. If your environment uses Node 22, you must upgrade npm to 11.5.1+ within your workflow before running the publish command [1][5][4]: - run: npm install -g npm@latest Configuration Requirements 1. GitHub Actions Permissions: Your workflow job must be granted permissions to generate an OIDC token [6][7][2]: permissions: id-token: write contents: read 2. Repository and Workflow Filename: In your npm package settings under Trusted Publishers, you must provide the exact repository name (owner/repo) and the workflow filename (e.g., publish.yml) [6][8]. Do not include the full file path; only the filename and extension are required, and the file must exist in.github/workflows/ [6][8]. All fields are case-sensitive [6]. 3. Handling NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: npm CLI attempts OIDC authentication only when no legacy NODE_AUTH_TOKEN is present [2][9]. If you use actions/setup-node with the registry-url input, it may automatically write a placeholder NODE_AUTH_TOKEN to your .npmrc file [10]. If NODE_AUTH_TOKEN is unset (the expected state for Trusted Publishing), this placeholder can cause npm to fall back to classic auth with an empty token, resulting in ENEEDAUTH or 404 errors [10][5][4]. To prevent this, ensure NODE_AUTH_TOKEN is not set in your environment variables, or remove the registry-related configuration from setup-node [10][11][9]. Provenace: When using Trusted Publishing, provenance attestations are enabled by default, so you do not need to manually pass the --provenance flag [7]. Top Results: [6][1][10][2][3]

site:docs.npmjs.com trusted publishers npm CLI 11.5.1 GitHub Actions workflow filename repository
💡 Result:
To use trusted publishing with the npm CLI (version 11.5.1 or later), you must establish a trust relationship between your npm package and your CI/CD provider, such as GitHub Actions [1][2]. When configuring trusted publishing for GitHub Actions, the workflow filename and repository are required parameters [1][2]. The requirements are: 1. Repository: You must specify the repository in the format owner/repo [2]. 2. Workflow filename: You must provide the filename of the workflow (e.g., publish.yml), not the full path [1]. It must exist in the.github/workflows/ directory of your repository and use either a.yml or.yaml extension [1][2]. You can manage these configurations either via the npm website or by using the npm CLI command: npm trust github [package] --file [filename] --repository [owner/repo] [2][3] The workflow itself must include the id-token: write permission to allow GitHub Actions to generate the OpenID Connect (OIDC) tokens necessary for authentication [1][4]. This approach eliminates the need for long-lived access tokens and automatically generates provenance statements for your packages [5][4][6].

site:github.com/actions/setup-node registry-url NODE_AUTH_TOKEN .npmrc authToken source
💡 Result:
The NODE_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable is used in conjunction with the registry-url configuration in GitHub Actions (actions/setup-node) to automate authentication for npm packages [1][2][3]. When registry-url is specified in a GitHub Actions workflow, the action automatically generates or updates a project-level .npmrc file to include authentication configuration [3]. It maps the configured registry to the NODE_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable using the following format [3][4]: //registry.example.com/:_authToken=${NODE_AUTH_TOKEN} In this configuration: 1. //registry.example.com/ represents the registry URL (with the protocol stripped) [3][4]. 2. :_authToken=${NODE_AUTH_TOKEN} tells the npm CLI to look for the value of the NODE_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable to authenticate requests to that registry [3][5]. Key Technical Considerations: - Environment Variable Expansion: The npm CLI reads the .npmrc file and expands the ${NODE_AUTH_TOKEN} variable at runtime. If the variable is not set in the environment, some older versions of npm/Node.js may fail to parse the .npmrc file [5][6]. - Modern Authentication (OIDC): For Trusted Publishing (OIDC), it is often recommended to ensure NODE_AUTH_TOKEN is not set, as its presence can sometimes cause the npm CLI to prioritize token-based authentication over OIDC, or lead to misconfiguration if the token is empty [7][8]. - Best Practices: If you are configuring this manually, ensure your .npmrc uses the format //<registry-hostname>/:_authToken=${YOUR_ENV_VAR_NAME} and that your CI environment provides the corresponding secret or token as an environment variable [3]. If you use actions/setup-node, it handles the creation of this line automatically when registry-url is provided [3].

Configure npm Trusted Publishing for the release job. Set the package trusted publisher to microblink/blinkid-react-native and workflow filename publish.yml. Upgrade npm to 11.5.1 or later before publishing. Node 22 alone provides npm 10.x. Remove registry-url to avoid generating token-based npm configuration.

Commit a lockfile and use npm ci for package builds.
Add and commit BlinkID/package-lock.json. Then replace npm install with npm ci in both .github/workflows/publish.yml and .github/workflows/dry-run.yml. This makes dependency resolution reproducible for release and dry-run builds.

Automate publishing of the package to NPM via Github Actions.
Publishing will be automatically triggered when a new Tag is created during the Release Process.
A "dry run" action is also introduced in order to test without publishing.
