Laravel Forge - npm ERR! code E401

Hey everyone,

I've been deploying my Laravel site to Forge, by using the "deploy" button. But, after trying to push a tonne of new code today—noticed that none of the NPM commands are running, and so, none of my changes are live.

So, when I go into commands, and run:

npm install && npm run build

I just get:

npm ERR! code E401
npm ERR! Incorrect or missing password.

Now, I've had a look on Google and on here and I just can't seem to find anything relating to this in a Laravel environment.

Originally, I removed my package-lock.json file as I presumed this was why it wasn't updating.

Any help greatly appreciated...

This error is likely due to an authentication issue with your npm registry. You can try logging in to your npm account on your server using the following command:

npm login

If you don't have an npm account, you can create one by running:

npm adduser

Once you're logged in, try running your npm commands again. If you're still having issues, you can try clearing your npm cache by running:

npm cache clean --force

Then try running your npm commands again.

If none of these solutions work, you may need to check your npm registry configuration in your project's package.json file or your global npmrc file.

Also, make sure that you have the latest version of npm installed on your server. You can update npm by running:

npm install -g npm

You might need to update npm, or delete some cache files on the system. I suggest to contact the Laravel Forge support, they might know better about that problem.
