Unable to resolve dev dependencies from private npm registry

[lethanhan97]

Version: Deno 2.0.6

Problem Description

We have a private repository hosted on gitlab. In .npmrc, we have the following

@prefix:registry=https://gitlab.private.whatever

In a deno project using Deno 2.0.6, I install the private sample-lib module like so

deno install npm:@prefix:sample-lib

The installation works as expected

sample-lib has a dependency on protobufjs, which has a dependency on minimal

When running the app, I'm faced with the error

[ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND] Cannot find module 'file:///Users/my-user/Library/Caches/deno/npm/registry.npmjs.org/protobufjs/7.4.0/minimal' imported from 'file:///Users/my-user/Library/Caches/deno/npm/gitlab.private.whatever/api/v4/packages/npm/@prefix/sample-lib/5.3.62/dist/esm/index.js'

Note that this lib has been long running and working fine with npm and .npmrc setup

What could be causing this problem here? Judging from the error message, seems like deno di not install sample-lib's dependencies?

Thank you guys in advance 🙇

You listed running deno install npm:@prefix:sample-lib to install it. Is the colon a typo and you used a /?

- deno install npm:@prefix:sample-lib
+ deno install npm:@prefix/sample-lib
