Ionic-cli: ionic upload with self signed cert

[wedneyyuri]

I'm getting started with Ionic Framework and Ionic View App.

My steps:
1 - Install ionic using npm (already using last Cordova version)
npm install -g ionic

2 - Make a hello world app
ionic start myApp sidemenu

3 - Try to upload this app
ionic upload

I'm getting this error:
Error logging in: Error:_SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN (CLI v1.3.11)_

Your system information:

OS: Windows 7 SP1
Node Version: v0.10.33
Cordova CLI: 4.3.0
Ionic Version: 1.0.0-beta.14
Ionic CLI Version: 1.3.11

My npm is set to ignore strict-ssl
npm set strict-ssl false

@wedneyyuri Are you still having this issue?

I might have a wild guess that was something to do with the login server cert at that time?

Have you tried this suggestion from the npm blog:

1) upgrade your version of npm

npm install npm -g --ca=null

2) tell your current version of npm to use known registrars

npm config set ca=""

[wedneyyuri]

Yes, I have already tried all these solutions but none worked.

Only IONIC is giving me errors, i'm using bower and it works fine.

Thanks for you reply @jbavari

I believe that the problem is not related to the operating system, I got the same error on a Mac running Mavericks.

In the bower and npm I found settings to bypass the strict ssl ("strict-ssl": false), but have not seen anything like it in the ionic.

I am also seeing this on Mac 10.10 as well with ionic CLI v1.3.20 and [email protected].

Uploading app...
There was an error trying to upload your app.
The specific error message: Error: self signed certificate in certificate chain (CLI v1.3.20)

I am seeing the same error on Window 7 SP1
Node version : v0.12.2
Cordova CLI: 5.0.0
Ionic Version: 1.0.0-rc.4
Ionic CLI version: 1.3.20

FWIW, what I found was that my company has us install specific certs (for whatever reason) so that we can access the internet. What I did to get around this is unplug my ethernet, switch to wifi, and go onto out public, "guest' wifi. That doesn't require the certs to access the outside world, so I no longer got the error.

TL;DR => Switch to public "guest" wifi for ionic share and ionic upload commands.

I can not use company computers outside the corporate network.

Bower had a similar problem before. Solved on bower/bower@e09a3b8#diff-482e80f366fc4f68a917d0f2762e41d3R112.

They solved this problem by passing the strictSSL option to the "request" package (https://github.com/request/request#requestoptions-callback).

[sinedied]

As @wedneyyuri said, the simplest solution to this issue would be to add a --strict-ssl=false option like npm and bower, that will be passed to the request package.

We are having this issue, too. We had this with Bower and NPM and both have a strict-ssl config variable that will fix it. Ionic needs that option.

@sinedied @ethanturk I still got the save error when I have run ionic push --ios-dev-cert --strict-ssl=false

[sliultron]

@LingboTang I do not think ionic cli currently has the option --strict-ssl for either push and upload command

you can use the ionic help to check the existing options for commands
