Gitlab - Update version package - node.js

Question

We created a vuejs library proyect in Gitlab and created a simple pipelines that excecuted after when we pushed the commit.
We have a problem when last job execute the npm version patch (that update the patch in the project) but... it's not updated and it's doesn't work.
.gutlab-ci.yml
image: node:8.10.0-slim

- node_modules/
before_script:
- npm install

- deploy

coverage: /All files[^|]*\|[^|]*\s+([\d\.]+)/
publish:

script:
- npm run peers:remove
- echo -e "//gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/<my-project>/packages/npm/:_authToken=${CI_NPM_TOKEN}" > ~/.npmrc
- npm login
- npm version patch
- npm publish
And package.json

"version": "npm run build:dev && git add -A dist",
"postversion": "git push --follow-tags"
...
}
[...]
Jobs lint and test working but the publish not.

$ npm login
Username: npm ERR! cb() never called!

We need when the Merge Request it's accepted, automatically builed library and upload to npm repository with a new version (new patch, npm version patch). It's possible?
Thx.

npm login is an interactive command so doesn't work in CI very well. Try using the package npm-login-noninteractive to pass your credentials via command line. You can install it globally in your before_script:
before_script:
- npm i -g npm-login-noninteractive
Then call it in place of npm login in your publish script.
