[BUG] NPM publish to private organization github containing capital letter

[khteh]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

This issue exists in the latest npm version

• I am using the latest npm

Current Behavior

I have the following in ~/.npmrc:

@Organization:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com/
//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=npm_<token>
registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/
//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=<github_token>
init-author-name=First Name, Last

and the following package.json:

{
  "name": "@Organization/application",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "license": "UNLICENSED",
  "scripts": {
    "clean": "rimraf dist",
    "build": "npm run clean && tsc && cp package.json dist",
    "deploy": "npm publish @Organization/application@$npm_package_version",
    "test": "echo 'no tests'"
  }

and when I run npm deploy, I see the following error:

npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found - GET https://npm.pkg.github.com/@Organization%2fapplication - npm package "application" does not exist under owner "Organization"
npm ERR! 404 
npm ERR! 404  '@Organization/gvs-kit@1.0.0' is not in this registry.
npm ERR! 404 This package name is not valid, because 
npm ERR! 404  1. name can no longer contain capital letters
npm ERR! 404 
npm ERR! 404 Note that you can also install from a
npm ERR! 404 tarball, folder, http url, or git url.

When I use publish instead in package.json:

{
  "name": "@Organization/application",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "license": "UNLICENSED",
  "scripts": {
    "clean": "rimraf dist",
    "build": "npm run clean && tsc && cp package.json dist",
    "publish": "npm publish @Organization/application@$npm_package_version",
    "test": "echo 'no tests'"
  }

I get the following error:

npm notice Publishing to https://npm.pkg.github.com/ with tag latest and default access
npm ERR! code EPUBLISHCONFLICT
npm ERR! publish fail Cannot publish over existing version.
npm ERR! publish fail Update the 'version' field in package.json and try again.
npm ERR! publish fail 
npm ERR! publish fail To automatically increment version numbers, see:
npm ERR! publish fail     npm help version

And I can see it creates / publish the package to the private organization github repo. However, I have not verified the content is valid.

Expected Behavior

These errors are coming back from the registry itself (the github package registry, it looks like), and not the npm CLI. Reach out to their support page for help with this issue. https://support.github.com/features/packages
