Using Ionic / NodeJS behind a proxy

ionic-v1

Hello,

I’m new to Ionic / NodeJS and have been trying to start a sample project following the instructions on the Getting Started page, but I’ve ran into a problem when trying to pass through the company’s proxy when executing the “ionic start myApp tabs” command.

I’ve been able to configure NodeJS by setting the “http” and “https-proxy” properties, but this configuration seems to be completely ignored by the “ionic” command :

C:\ionic>ionic start myApp tabs Running start task... Creating Ionic app in folder C:\ionic\myApp based on tabs project DOWNLOADING: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-app-base/archive/master.zip TypeError: Cannot read property 'statusCode' of undefined at Request._callback (C:\Users\yba\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\ionic\lib\ionic.js:241:13) at self.callback (C:\Users\yba\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\ionic\node_modules\request\request.js:129:22) at Request.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:95:17) at ClientRequest.self.clientErrorHandler (C:\Users\yba\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\ionic\node_modules\request\request.js:239:10) at ClientRequest.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:95:17) at CleartextStream.socketErrorListener (http.js:1547:9) at CleartextStream.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:95:17) at Socket.onerror (tls.js:1445:17) at Socket.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:117:20) at net.js:441:14

The problem I face (and the workaround I’m using) is described there.

Is it normal ? If not should I file an issue for this ?

Thank you for your help,

Yannick

Hey guys,

Are you all on Windows, or other OSes?

As a temporary solution, you could use a tool like Proxifier (http://www.proxifier.com/) to automatically do this for the ionic start command. I need to look into seeing how to make this configurable on our end, I would just expect it to work automatically through global node settings but I guess not.

@max Perhaps use an .ionicrc file in the project root to define some custom Ionic related settings? Just like Bower and JSHint.

There’s been an update the CLI that should take care of this.

$ sudo npm uninstall -g ionic
$ sudo npm install -g ionic
$ PROXY=http://myproxy.com:8081 ionic start what

I still have this problem, I’m going to try and follow the blog mentioned

Is there a Windows equivalent of PROXY= please?

Thank you

(love Ionic btw, it’s transformed me and my partners development, if you’re ever in Somerset, England we owe you beers).

Oh, I resolved it - you need to set an Environment Variable in windows for PROXY :slight_smile:

Thank you

For windows you can also set an Environment variable called PROXY.
It worked for me.

in your config file you have to mention proxies property as below

“proxies”: [

“path”: “/api”,
“proxyUrl”: “https://www.abc.com/api”
}
