Private package used in eslint config

[bryanjtc]

My eslint config uses a private package. I use .yarnc.yml to set the npmAuthToken needed to fetch the package. The megalinter throws an error in the eslint config because it can't find the package. How do I fix it? Do I need a .npmrc file and a custom command to run before the linter?

I've never played with npm private packages, but I suppose you can manage its installation using PRE_COMMANDS

I will try.

@nvuillam Can I use the environment variables from a .env file or variables set in the ci/cd pipeline on the mega-linter.yml?

I think you would have to load the .env file yourself during PRE_COMMANDS.

If you define SOME_VARIABLE in CI variables, it should be available in a pre_command echo "$SOME_VARIABLE"
