pnpm: Cannot download from private git+ssh repositories: ERR_INVALID_URL

Hello! first of all, I want to say that it’s exactly the tool I ever wanted since npm is born 😄 So, thank you!!

However, I’m facing an issue with private repository hosted on a gitlab internal installation. The error I’m retrieving is the following (i’ve obfuscated the url):

 ERROR  Invalid URL: git+ssh://git@gitlab.****.**:yield-insight/cli

Looks like pnpm is not able to read URL with git+ssh:// protocol. How can I solve it keeping the compatibility with npm?

pnpm version:

4.9.3

Windows & Linux

Has this been acknowledged as a bug? Seems like something which should have been prioritised for a quick patch.

Ok I’ve solved simply replacing the column character after the domain.

git+ssh://git@gitlab.89109.nl:yield-insight/cli.git -> git+ssh://git@gitlab.89109.nl/yield-insight/cli.git

The previous syntax is supported by npm but is not parsed by the nodejs URL parser

However, you could consider to fix it improving support for package.json since the url with column is the official syntax supported by npm

pnpm looks great, thanks for this tool ❤️ Would love to see that issue resolved, tho. It takes unnecessary long time to show this warnings. Also, setting fetch-retries in .npmrc etc. doesn’t seem to have any effect on this.
