Error: unable to get local issuer certificate while running yarn command

Question

I have my own private npm registry http://something. I installed yarn and trying to run following command.

yarn

But it is giving following error.

Trace: 
  Error: unable to get local issuer certificate
      at Error (native)
      at TLSSocket.<anonymous> (_tls_wrap.js:1017:38)
      at emitNone (events.js:67:13)

      at TLSWrap.ssl.onclienthello.ssl.oncertcb.ssl.onnewsession.ssl.onhandshakedone (_tls_wrap.js:424:38)

I found couple of github issue and resolution as well.

Looks like i have to set strict-ssl to false in yarn config. I am unable to find exactly how can I do that. I tried giving option in following ways in package.json but didn't work.

1)

{
config: {
"strict-ssl": false
}
}

2)

{
"strict-ssl": false
}

But still I am getting same error. Where am I doing wrong?

Solution 1

in Nodejs command prompt run the following command. then everything works. its bcos of running behind a proxy error

yarn config set "strict-ssl" false -g

Solution 2

Realised that config needs to get into .yarnrc file. I have set following to get it worked.

cafile null
strict-ssl false

Also please note that yarn also takes config options from .npmrc file as well.

Solution 3

The command has been updated. The command is now:

yarn config set enableStrictSsl false

I get an error regarding the cafile, but this DOES work - only if you put it inside the .yarnrc file, NOT inside the .npmrc file.

@raingod Did you get the error, error Could not open cafile: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/project/dir/null' ?

However, note that -g means it is set globally. To be a little safer, one could leave it off and run </br> yarn config set "strict-ssl" false </br> only if and when needed.

works like a charm! Thankyou
