npm install from Jenkins fails installing module hosted on bitbucket
I had a similar problem in a Jenkinsfile where npm would not access a private git repo even though I could do it as the same user from the commandline. It seemed as if the .ssh/config was being ignored. I was able to work around this with the following snippet in my Jenkinsfile:
sh "eval \$(ssh-agent); ssh-add /home/tomcat/.ssh/mysshkey; npm install"
You need to generate an OAuth token in Bitbucket, look at the create consumer section. Then you can use it with https like this:
"dependencies": { "module": "git+https://x-token-auth:{access_token}@bitbucket.org/user/module.git"}
