npm user in package prefilled with 'sugumarmani' and a e-mail

[sdhaeyer]

Hello,

I'm not sure to report a bug or not, it said go to the discussion first. So here i am.

On first use ... creating my package it automaticly filled in:

"_npmUser": {
				"name": "sugumarmani",
				"email": "[email protected]"
			},

In the package.json file.

I had a 'quick' look/find in the git repo but didn't find it as text. Maybe a dependency.

I find it confusing that it is there ... i have no association with this name or email.

It uses this withing the maintainers aswell ...

"maintainers": [
				{
					"name": "sugumarmani",
					"email": "[email protected]"
				}
			],

It is the first time i use Verdaccio.
Found it strange i though i'dd report.

Just to be clear, this is in:
path-to/verdaccio/storage/my-package-name/package.json

Kr,
Sam

Ok,

I have found the reason. But maybe still there'dd be something to do about it in the future.

I used a name for the package, which already excisted in the 'official' npm register, which confused this and other setting i think.

Making a personlize '@specifique-name/package' solved it.

Still, might be an option to alert the user if the package name already excists.

But for now i'm resolved.

Kr,
Sam

Glad you figured it out.

My recommendation is always scope your packages, also you can create a private scope at the config file so the selected scope never goes to upstream and you will never have conflicts.

By default is the package manager the one that does the job and registry only follow the restrictions you define at the config file. By nature the package manager relies on what you set on the name at the package json file and not designed you warn you.

I hope help those advices.
