npm publish to registry.npmjs.org fails in GitLab CI - gitlab

Question

I tried to publish in registry.npmjs.org/ with gitlab ci, but instead of publish, i get an error
I tried what this page says https://webbureaucrat.gitlab.io/posts/continuously-deploying-an-npm-package-with-gitlab-ci-cd/
with this gitlab-ci.yml file
image: node:latest
stages:
- deploy
deploy:
stage: deploy
script:
- echo "//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=${NPMJS_TOKEN}" > .npmrc
- npm publish
But I get the next error
npm notice
npm ERR! code ENEEDAUTH
npm ERR! need auth This command requires you to be logged in to https://registry.npmjs.org/
npm ERR! need auth You need to authorize this machine using `npm adduser`
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:\
I tried to change by this but I have the same output
- npm config set //registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken ${NPMJS_TOKEN}
I thought I would fixed something when i did this because the error message changes
- npm config set //registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken ${NPMJS_TOKEN}
npm notice
npm notice Publishing to https://registry.npmjs.org/

But I couldn't go any further than here, the funny thing is if i go to this link https://registry.npmjs.org/xxxx after i published local, this results something by HTTP get by browser, but still show the same message, even if I increase the version
The only way i can have same error doing a local publish was doing npm publish after i delete the package, i had to change the package name to publish again (this doesn't work in gitlab)
