Failed to install dependency from GitLab repo

Support

My site is https://shoebox-battle.netlify.app

In my latest update, I added a dependency that’s meant to be installed from a public GitLab repository. It’s specified in package.json as such:

  "dependencies": {
    "goto10": "https://gitlab.com/safranka.mate/goto10-commons.git",
  },

However, the dployment fails at the build stage. From the logs it appears that Netlify is trying to connect via SSH despite the explicit HTTPS link in package.json:

I am able to install the package on my own computer without any problems. I need to know how to either:

  1. Make Netlify connect via HTTPS
  2. Upload an SSH key so that Netlify can connect to my repo

Thanks

UPDATE: I have published the package goto10 on NPM and updated the package.json:

  "dependencies": {
    "goto10": "^1.0.0",
  },

However, the build still fails, and the log still says it’s trying to install from gitlab via SSH:

PLEASE look into this. I’m starting to suspect a caching issue. I have tried “Clear cache and Retry”, same result.

I’m not seeing any failed builds connected to this site, are you still having issues? If so, could you link us to the specific build you’re having issues with?

No, I worked it out by myself.

Got it, thanks for letting us know!
