Step 8 - "Publish" doesn't work on Windows 10. Localhost:15443 not responding

[brentpayton]

Step 8 consistently fails on Windows 10 but passes on MacOS. It appears that the local server on port 15443 has exited or otherwise isn't responding when this failure occurs.

Hello 👋

Thanks for reporting this. The port number is declared as hard cording, so I put a bug label on this issue.

$ grep -irl 15443 .
./assets/registry/wrappy/body.json
./lib/registry.js
./workshop-npmrc

As a solution, we have two options:

• Find an available port, and use it in the files that should be created dynamically
• Display an error in exercises if it's used

I will consider a better way, but I will be glad to support anyone including you if someone has an interest in working on this.

Nice package to create a patch with https://github.com/sindresorhus/get-port

But I got:

EDIT: When I access registry over HTTP:

{"error":"missing"}

@ShadowRZ It seems a different issue. Could you please open another issue and share your npm-debug.log?

This issue was confirmed as a bug already as it's labelled. how-to-npm doesn't work if the user is using the same port number(15443).
