How to add personal access tokens as environment variables to a action ? about action-setup

You can try this pnpm/pnpm#3141 (comment)

I copy here the solution adapted

      - name: Set token config
        run: |
          echo "//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=${secrets.NPM_TOKEN}" > .npmrc
          echo "@yourScope=https://npm.pkg.github.com/" >> .npmrc
          echo "_auth=${secrets.NPM_TOKEN}" >> .npmrc
          echo "always-auth=true" >> .npmrc
        env:
          secrets.NPM_TOKEN: ${{secrets.NPM_TOKEN}}
      - name: Install
        run: pnpm install

Keep on mind that pnpm is able to read from .npmrc so this should works fine. If you have troubles you can always increase the logging to see more in detail what is returning the registry.

@juanpicado that looks like what you'd use to access a private NPM package, not a private GitHub repo.

Apologize for late response.

Does this work? https://pnpm.io/npmrc#url_authtoken
