Netlify can't install github private repo as npm depencency

[bunyaminyilmaz]

Hi there,
i am trying to deploy my first site with netlify.
So i have in my package.json some github private repository as a dependency like this:
"yp-designsystem": "git+https://<Personal Access Token>:x-oauth-basic@github.com/ORGANIZATION/yp-designsystem.git"
My PAT has acces to the repository. But when i deploy, it always fails with an error as show below.
Am i missing something?
Site name: yp-frontend-staging.netlify.app

Hi @bunyaminyilmaz

Have you looked at this support guide on using private NPM modules?

[Support Guide] Using private NPM modules on Netlify

Last reviewed by Netlify Support: December 2022 You want to build your site on Netlify but you have some private npm modules served from npmjs.org, and now you’re wondering how you can access them during build? The most straightforward way to do this is two steps: Find your token inside the ~/.npmrc file in your home folder and set it as an NPM_TOKEN environment variable through Netlify’s admin UI. This will be on the Build & Deploy settings page of your site configuration, in the section c…

those are served from npmjs.org
mine are github repositories.

Apologies. How about this support guide

[Support Guide] How do I access private repositories in the build environment?

Last reviewed by Netlify Support on December 2022 The link from your repository to our service only authenticates us against the “main” repo that you first configured, and won’t automatically allow access to submodules even if they also belong to you and you’ve granted Netlify access to those repositories. In case your submodule is public, you can change the URI schema for it to start with https://, and it should work without further adjustment (so, in .gitmodules, change git@github.com… to h…

thank you very much.

If you think that could work, there are a couple of ways to get that info into our build environment:

1. If your dependency manager (this works with npm at least) supports it, and your package.json is securely stored, you can add that dependency using a GitHub or GitLab access token like this: git+https://<github_token>:x-oauth-basic@github.com/<user>/<repo>.git (GitLab also documents this ). If you use BitBucket, you can to use an app password in the same way . Note that you can instead choose to not save the token to git, but use it directly from the command line during build if you keep that dependency out of your main package.json and instead set an environment variable like $GIT_TOKEN in the Build & Deploy settings for a site, and using a step in your build process like: npm install git+https://${GIT_TOKEN}:x-oauth-basic@github.com/user/repo.git

As written in my post if have tried this. But it does not work for me

Which pricing tier are you on @bunyaminyilmaz?

As mentioned in this post the ability to deploy from private organisation repositories is only available on Pro and up. It is likely this also applies to module dependencies too.

[bunyaminyilmaz]

I have the Pro subscription.
