npm.publishPath not having any effect

[Memphis335]

Hi All,

I am trying to publish an Angular library to a private npm repo. This is my package.json of the ng library:

{
	"name": "@dwl/common",
	"version": "0.0.121",
	"scripts": {
		"build": "ng build",
		"release": "release-it"
	},
	"files": [
		"./dist"
	],
	"publishConfig": {
		"registry": "http://localhost:4873"
	},
	"release-it": {
		"hooks": {
			"after:bump": "npm run build"
		},
		"scripts": {
			"changelog": "git log --pretty=format:\"* %s (%h)\" [REV_RANGE]"
		},
		"git": {
			"requireCleanWorkingDir": false,
			"requireUpstream": false,
			"addUntrackedFiles": false,
			"commit": false,
			"commitMessage": "Release ${version} [release-it:git]",
			"commitArgs": "--no-verify",
			"tag": false,
			"tagName": "${version}",
			"tagAnnotation": "Release ${version}",
			"tagArgs": "",
			"push": false
		},
		"npm": {
			"publish": true,
			"publishPath": "./dist",
			"tag": "latest",
			"private": false,
			"access": null,
			"otp": null
		}
	},
	"peerDependencies": {
		"@angular/common": "^16.2.0",
		"@angular/core": "^16.2.0"
	},
	"dependencies": {
		"tslib": "^2.3.0"
	},
	"sideEffects": false
}

I am following the recipe for the mono repo since I have two libraries in this repo. I am starting the release by running

foo@bar:~$ npm run release-it

from the parent package.json.

That script is

"release-it": "npm run release --workspaces"

I would like to only publish the contents of the dist folder but I am unable to achieve that. What am I doing wrong here?

What is the output? What errors do you see?

Maybe it's because files: ['dist'] does not match after "publishPath": "./dist"?
