Cannot deploy as One Time Password is not provided. about jdeploy

[shannah]

It does try to deal with the one-time password but it is flakey. It has been reported that updating NodeJS to the latest fixes this issue. An alternative workaround for now, is to first login using the CLI. (i.e. npm login), then do your publish.

I had installed the LTS version of node.js, which had 8.11 of npm. Upgrading manually to 8.13.2 with packages, (which in the process upgraded jdeploy to 3.2.0) and logging in again did not change the error message.

This is under MacOS 12.4 x64.

Suggestions?

So you're logged in in the CLI with npm and it still doesn't work? See #33

[ravn]

Yes. I have enabled 2FA for NPM with a suitable authenticator, which might be a mistake given this.

What is the correct place to add the --otp=xxxx snippet in the JDeploy GUI? (Better to ask than guess these things)

[shannah]

The jDeploy GUI will try to identify when the CLI prompts for it, and it will give you a dialog box to enter the OTP. But this is currently version-dependent as it uses heuristics to identify this.

If this isn't working, then you should

1. Login using the npm command line. (If you can type npm whoami and it gives your username, then you're logged in).
2. Publish using either the jDeploy GUI or the jDeploy CLI. From the cli, it is just jdeploy publish.

Had the same problem, fixed using by doing:

1. Login into npmjs.com
2. Go to the account setting, the "Manage Two-Factor Authentication"
3. In the "Additional Options" section, uncheck "Require two-factor authentication for write actions"
4. Click the "Update Preferences" button
5. Run jdeploy publish
