Running locally with npx fails "404 Not Found"

[todgru]

The README doc describe running locally using npx. https://github.com/aws-actions/aws-codebuild-run-build/blob/main/README.md#running-locally

The command will fail as the package is not published to the NPM Package Registry, npmjs.org.

Error:

$ npx @aws-actions/codebuild-run-build -p ProjectName -r remoteName
npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/@aws-actions%2fcodebuild-run-build - Not found

npm ERR! 404 
npm ERR! 404 Note that you can also install from a

Are the docs correct?

I hit this issue too, I ended up installing using yarn and the url for the repo to get around it:

yarn add https://github.com/aws-actions/aws-codebuild-run-build

OR

npm install https://github.com/aws-actions/aws-codebuild-run-build

Even then, I encountered an issue where using an SSH git remote does not work:

npx @aws-actions/codebuild-run-build -p ci-cd-fargate
ci-cd-fargate/node_modules/@aws-actions/codebuild-run-build/local.js:147
    throw new Error(`Unsupported format: ${url}`);
    ^

Working workaround

npm install [email protected]:aws-actions/aws-codebuild-run-build.git
npx @aws-actions/codebuild-run-build --help

Thanks @ChrisFichman for the hint 👍
