Comportamiento esperado:

Debería publicar el tarball, actualmente npm parece pensar que esta es una carpeta para ejecutar npm pack .

Pasos para reproducir:

Debería poder probar con:
`` `script de shell
mkdir -p ./test-npm-publish
cd ./test-npm-publish
npm init - sí
paquete npm
npm publish test-npm-publish-1.0.0.tgz
