I'm using the frontend-maven-plugin plugin to pull the dependencies for the frontend of a multi-module maven project, as follows
<plugin>
<groupId>com.github.eirslett</groupId>
<artifactId>frontend-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>install node and npm</id>
<goals>
<goal>install-node-and-npm</goal>
</goals>
<phase>generate-resources</phase>
<configuration>
<nodeVersion>v12.13.1</nodeVersion>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>npm install</id>
<goals>
<goal>npm</goal>
</goals>
<phase>generate-resources</phase>
<configuration>
<arguments>install</arguments>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
However, the proxy I have to use to connect to github.com recently closed port 22, resulting in the following error in our build environment
[ERROR] npm ERR! Error while executing:
[ERROR] npm ERR! /usr/bin/git ls-remote -h -t ssh://git@github.com/gulpjs/gulp.git
[ERROR] npm ERR!
[ERROR] npm ERR! ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out
[ERROR] npm ERR! fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
[ERROR] npm ERR!
[ERROR] npm ERR! Please make sure you have the correct access rights
[ERROR] npm ERR! and the repository exists.
[ERROR] npm ERR!
[ERROR] npm ERR! exited with error code: 128
According to the sysadmin, I should be able to use https instead of ssh to connect to github, is it possible to configure the plugin to instruct npm to use https, or is there a setting in .npmconfig to do the same?
