publish bun packages

[sdoshibitgo]

We are using semantic release for versioning so with it were using npm plugin for publish. But npm publish fails as it does not understand bun related features such as catalogs and workspaces. So we removed npm plugin and tried to use semanti-release/exec to run bun publish. But bun publish is failing with 403.We are passing NPM_CONFIG_TOKEN as env in CI so not sure what is the issue. The token works for npm publish.

Hey! I ran into a similar issue before — bun publish doesn’t seem to handle NPM_CONFIG_TOKEN the same way as npm publish.

What worked for me was adding this to the root .npmrc file:

//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=${NPM_CONFIG_TOKEN}

Also, make sure this file is present and picked up in your CI environment before the publish step runs.
Hope that helps!
