I've created an published a private npm package successfully. Here is the file structure:

Library.Util

   |
   |__helper
      |
      |__typeChecker.js
|
|__index.js
|
|__package.json

We are facing the same issue, and are missing the src/ sub-directory when running a global install of an NPM package from our private NPM registry.

There is nothing referenced in the .npmignore or .gitignore files, and we are even explicitly referencing the src/ sub-directory in files block in the package.json :

{
...
  "main": "./bin/cli.js",
  "bin": {
    "app_name": "./bin/cli.js"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node ./bin/cli.js"
  },
  "files": [
    "bin",
    "test",
    "src",
    "package.json"
  ],
...
}

Interestingly the install also fails to install the test sub-directory, and moving the entry point to the src/ sub-directory results in it failing to install at all with the following error:

ENOENT: no such file or directory, chmod '...node_modules/@private_registry/app_name/src/cli.js
