Can't deploy to Vercel - 403 Forbidden Error

[mmetahero]

I'm trying to deploy my app to vercel. I tried with these two tutorials:

https://vercel.com/guides/using-private-dependencies-with-vercel

https://blog.privjs.com/article/how-to-install-club-greensock-packages-on-vercel

 

I keep getting error like below:

error An unexpected error occurred: "https://npm.greensock.com/@gsap%2fshockingly/-/shockingly-3.11.4.tgz: Request failed \"403 Forbidden\"".

 

To summarize what I did:

1. Installed gsap shockingly package with command below:

npm install gsap@npm:@gsap/shockingly

2. Created ".npmrc" file in the root dir of my project with content like below:

always-auth=true
@gsap:registry=https://npm.greensock.com
//npm.greensock.com/:_authToken=MY-TOKEN-HERE

3. Set up environment variables in the Vercel project using commands below:

vercel env add NPM_RC production < ~/.npmrc
vercel env add NPM_RC preview < ~/.npmrc
vercel env add NPM_RC development < ~/.npmrc

 

4. Verified in Vercel that ENVs are indeed created with correct values

 

5. Initialized deploy.

 

To be clear installing locally works as intended. 

 

Please help

I've managed to get it working.

Changed package manager from yarn to npm.

Ah it's always issues with yarn. Sorry I should have asked about that. There's some known issues with private repos (from Yarns side) 🫠

I managed to deploy GSAP Shockingly to Vercel using yarn and have posted a solution on the link below. Might be worth checking for users who don't want to switch their projects over to npm.
