When trying to publish an npm package I get the following error: Did you mean to publish ./package/,-CodePudding

I'm trying to publish my first npm package, but there seems to be something that I'm missing.

I have already tested the package with npm link and everything works as expected, however I am unable to publish it. I seem to be missing something, but can't find what it is.

Running npm publish or npm publish --dry-run give me the following error:

npm ERR! npm ERR! command C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /d /s /c echo 'Did you mean to publish ./package/, instead of ./?' && exit 1

My environment is:

Svelte Svelte kit
Vite
Typescript

My vite config is:

import { sveltekit } from '@sveltejs/kit/vite';

/** @type {import('vite').UserConfig} */
const config = {
   plugins: [sveltekit()]
};

export default config;

This is the complete log of the error:

Any ideas?

I have tried modifying the vite.config.js file to something like:

import { sveltekit } from '@sveltejs/kit/vite';
import * as path from 'path';

/** @type {import('vite').UserConfig} */
const config = {
   plugins: [sveltekit()],
   resolve: {
      alias: [
         {
            find: '~',
            replacement: path.resolve(__dirname, './src')
         }
      ]
   },
   server: {
      port: 3000
   },
   build: {
      manifest: true,
      minify: true,
      reportCompressedSize: true,
      lib: {
         entry: path.resolve(__dirname, 'auth0/auth-service.ts'),
         fileName: 'auth-config',
         formats: ['es', 'cjs']
      },
      rollupOptions: {
         external: [],
         plugins: [sveltekit()]
      }
   }
};

export default config;

And similar configurations I found online, but it always produces the same error. I must be missing something.

CodePudding user response：

SvelteKit generates a package folder with a modified package.json that should be used for publishing. It lists all the exports contained in the library.

Hence you should cd into that directory and run npm publish there.
