Unable to get local issuer certificate error - while executing "ionic start myApp tabs" command

ionic-v1

Hi All,

I’m getting the “Unable to get local issuer certificate error” while issuing the below command,

ionic start myApp tabs

I have tried executing the below commands, but no luck,

npm config set strict-ssl false
git config http.sslVerify “false”

Can someone help!. I have posted this in StackOverflow and other forums, but no there no response from the members, however many people have commented that they are also facing the same error.

Can some shed some light here?..

Thanks,
Dave

What is messing with your SSL certificates?

Sorry, no idea. Something is messing with your connection and not handling SSL correctly.

Your Firewall does not allow this. This happens to me in my office network. Go to a guest network and try.

Thanks for the reply thesourav!. Although I receive the below errror,

[INFO] Fetching app base
(https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic2-app-base/archive/master.tar.gz)
[DEBUG] !!! ERROR ENCOUNTERED !!!
? Downloading - failed!

When I try https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic2-app-base/archive/master.tar.gz directly in my browser I’m able to hit the site and download the code.

So, If there is a firewall blockage, how am I able to download the code?. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Dave

Probably on the browser level your proxy, firewall, trojan, whatever is messing with your connection and SSL certificates works, but not on command line level.

Try another network connection. Open a hotspot with your mobile phone, connect to that, and try again.

Same issue for me since I updated ionic from 2.x to 3.x …

Even with nodeJS newers version (6.11, 8.4) or with @ionic/cli-plugin-proxy installed and

    @ionic/cli-utils        : 1.8.1
    ionic (Ionic CLI)       : 3.8.1

set an environment variable NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED with value 0 in your windows/linux system.
