npm publish failing after changing url

[thomas.philips_3206]

Hi, im trialing proget locally on my machine, it installed with the default localhost:8624. I tried changing this url with the inedo hub configuration page but every time i click save the urls box just goes red and nothing is changed.

instead, i altered the binding in iis manually, and found C:\ProgramData\Inedo\SharedConfig\ProGet.Config and updated that as well

the website is working correctly on the new url, and npm install with the npm feed i set up works

but whenever i try to publish, the npm client it fails as it is still trying to access the old localhost:8624 address, even though i've set the registry to the new address:

Hello;

The InedoHub just edits that ProGet.Config file; but in any case, those bindings are only used for the integrated web server, not IIS. We should definitely improve that experience so it's clearer. Are you able to access your instance via http://local.proget.net/ in a browser? If so, then, it seems to have worked.

I don't know npm very well, but I looked at the docs of [npm publish](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/publish), and it seems that --registry isn't an option on that page. But there's also this page: https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/registry

Hope that helps

@atripp --registry is just the global arg for swapping out your registry on a per-command basis (instead of in a config file).

But! i just realised what was wrong, apologies it's all on me. I still had the old url hardcoded in the publishConfig.registry key in the test modules package.json. i didn't realise that would make npm completely ignore the --registry arg, and blindly try and publish to the old registry address! which was why npm install etc were all working totally fine
