404 error while pushing tar.gz file to Nexus

[gotvi...@gmail.com]

I'm trying to push a tar.gz file to Nexus by two methods.  Both the methods are giving me 404 error.  But, the same file am able to upload through the UI.

1) I'm trying to upload through Jenkins as part of a build job.

The error am getting in Jenkins is

2) Trying to publish from Mac command line.

The error am getting here is

The Repo type I'm trying to push this Artifact to is npm-hosted repo.

Note : The same file, I'm able to push to a raw-hosted repo without any issue.

Please suggest.

Nexus version is - Nexus/3.12.0-01

You can't publish to an npm repository using a maven uploader, that's not how the npm repository protocol works.  Use the "npm publish" command:

https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/publish

Thanks a lot Rich.  This works.
