What I Wanted to Do
I want to add credentials for a private registry and that all calls are always authenticated
What Happened Instead
Credentials are present in the .npmrc file but calls to this registry are not authenticated
Reproduction Steps
npm adduser --registry=https://npm.example.com --scope=@example-private --always-auth
npm install @example-private/test -g
npm ERR! code E403
npm ERR! 403 Forbidden: @example-private/test
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
