Are you behind any kind of proxy or firewall?

This is an SSL Cert error from node, but our certs are just fine and we've had a great many downloads today already ;-)

Maybe just try again? Or change your node version perhaps? Do you know of any kind of system settings that may muck with your network configuration? Have you had any issues downloading Cypress before?

[4z5lz]

Yes, I'm behind the corporate firewall, but I not had any issue with installation of Cypress 3.0.1 before.

[cLupus]

I have the same error.
While I've tried setting NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS to the bundled corporate certificate bundle (which includes Mozilla's), setting an alias for node to node --use-openssl-ca, and setting npm config set cafile $PATH_TO_CORPERATE_CA_BUNDLE
Neither of which worked out.

[brian-mann]

You likely just need to set HTTP_PROXY=whatever npm install or set it up in your .npmrc file.

Read this comment here for workarounds when installing Cypress: #1469

I looked at our documentation and expected this to be there but was surprised not to find it. You likely just need to set HTTP_PROXY or HTTPS_PROXY environment variables when doing the npm install.

[cLupus]

PS: For my part, HTTP(S)?_PROXY is set (exported).
I've managed to work around the issue on my work computer, however, such a workaround is not really an option in our CI/CD pipeline.
The said environment variable have also been set (globally) in our CI/CD pipeline, but we still get the certificate error.

edit: I've also tried with HTTP_PROXY=<proxy.example.com:port> nam install, but that didn't work either.

[jennifer-shehane]

We made a lot of improvements to proxy support recently. Can you try updating to 3.3.1 and update this issue if it is fixed/not fixed please? Thanks.

Unfortunately still not working.

I was able to resolve the situation by following the instructions on Proxy Configuration

Specifically I had to: set HTTP_PROXY=http://my-company-proxy.com in my Windows Command Prompt before I did my npm install

[jennifer-shehane]

Closing as resolved. Please comment if you are still having this issue and we will consider reopening.

Hi,
I am getting following issue, while installing cypress 3.8.3

node index.js --exec install

Does your workplace require a proxy to be used to access the Internet? If so, you must configure the HTTP_PROXY environment variable before downloading Cypress. Read more: https://on.cypress.io/proxy-configuration

Otherwise, please check network connectivity and try again:
