NPM–401 error when restoring packages from an Azure DevOps Artifacts NPM registry

I had to make some changes to an Angular application, so I cloned the app and ran ‘npm install’. This failed with the following error message:

npm WARN tar ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'D:\Projects\CMS\Bridges.CMS.SPA\node_modules\.staging\dayjs-f8637d82\plugin\weekOfYear.d.ts'

npm WARN tar ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'D:\Projects\CMS\Bridges.CMS.SPA\node_modules\.staging\dayjs-f8637d82\plugin\weekYear.d.ts'

npm ERR! code E401

npm ERR! Unable to authenticate, need: Bearer authorization_uri=https://login.windows.net/<guid>, Basic realm="https://pkgsprodsu3weu.app.pkgs.visualstudio.com/", TFS-Federated   

Some packages should be downloaded from our own NPM registry hosted in Azure DevOps Artifacts. As I couldn’t authenticate succesfully this resulted in a 401 error.

To solve this I first had to install the vsts-npm-auth package:

PS D:\Projects\cms\ui\CMS\Bridges.CMS.SPA> npm install -g vsts-npm-auth

C:\Users\bart\AppData\Roaming\npm\vsts-npm-auth -> C:\Users\bart\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\vsts-npm-auth\bin\vsts-npm-auth.exe

+ vsts-npm-auth@0.41.0

added 1 package from 1 contributor in 1.947s

Then I could login and create the required .npmrc file by executing the following command:

PS D:\Projects\cms\ui\CMS\Bridges.CMS.SPA> vsts-npm-auth -config .npmrc

vsts-npm-auth v0.41.0.0

.NET 8–Keyed/Named Services

A feature that a lot of IoC container libraries support but that was missing in the default DI container provided by Microsoft is the support for Keyed or Named Services. This feature allows you to register the same type multiple times using different names, allowing you to resolve a specific instance based on the circumstances. Although there is some controversy if supporting this feature is a good idea or not, it certainly can be handy. To support this feature a new interface IKeyedServiceProvider got introduced in .NET 8 providing 2 new methods on our ServiceProvider instance: object? GetKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); object GetRequiredKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); To use it, we need to register our service using one of the new extension methods: Resolving the service can be done either through the FromKeyedServices attribute: or by injecting the IKeyedServiceProvider interface and calling the GetRequiredKeyedServic...

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
