Frontend npm install problems (lyft repository dependencies)

[wuttem]

I was trying to build the static part of the amundsen frontend like outlined in the documentation

cd static
npm install
npm run build

This leads to a E401 errors from npm.

Current Behavior

Some of the dependencies in package-lock.json are resolved to a repository hosted by lyft.
This leads to problems building because it seems this is not open for public.

Example:
react-switch is resolved to https://artifactory-npm.lyft.net/artifactory/api/npm/virtual-npm-lyft/react-switch/-/react-switch-6.0.0.tgz which requires some kind of login to access.

Not sure what the reason for this is, but it seems like all of these dependencies could also be resolved by a public repository.

For Example
react-switch could be resolved from https://registry.npmjs.org/react-switch/-/react-switch-6.0.0.tgz

Possible Solution

It is of course possible to delete package-lock.json and rebuild it however this makes it much more complicated to get a working configuration. Manually changing the file for just a couple of dependencies is also not a great solution.

My proposal would be to change package-lock.json to only resolved dependencies to public available repositories.

Thanks for opening your first issue here!

I came across this issue once as well and saw some occurrences of people facing this in the amundsen slack channel too ...

This might be a nitpick, but to me, the "stale bot" does not seem to make a lot of sense. It just makes it obvious that replies are taking some time... Which I am totally ok with, by the way. Why shouldn't it be ok if there is no reply to an issue for 2 weeks ? Does not seem like auto closing issues helps with anything.

It is still happening, it is connecting to https://artifactory-npm.lyft.net/artifactory/api/npm/virtual-npm-lyft/tree-changes/-/t
ree-changes-0.7.1.tgz which need lyft credential. please prioritise it
