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

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)

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

  • There is possibility that you are getting the error because you are running behind a proxy server. To fix this, open Node.js command prompt; type and execute the following command:

    yarn config set "strict-ssl" false -g

    For new versions use this command yarn config set enableStrictSsl false -g
