@daneric, @gnidan inserted an error logging line to debug this problem in the latest Truffle release 4.0.6. If you have a chance could you install it, try again, and report the (hopefully different) error you see?

@ben-nyllabs The error is: self signed certificate in certificate chain. Looking around various Github threads it seems like it might be firewall related. Is there anything about your local environment that would cause it to fake SSL certs?

Possibly helpful discussion at this issue.

cgewecke picture cgewecke on 12 Feb 2018

@cgewecke YES, there is! Should have been obvious, thank you! I just manually created the files/folders that truffle init makes, which only took like 30 seconds anyways... and now all is good

@daneric It's now clear this error results from local network permissions / behavior. @lazaridiscom has suggested we stop depending on network connectivity to manage truffle init and we all agree that's probably the best remedy. Tracking this problem at #108 and closing here.

Thanks for reporting,

Would you explain to me how to solve?

0pay picture 0pay on 16 Feb 2018

@0pay In your case the error looks different - the connection timed out which suggests you weren't able to connect to GitHub because of .a weak internet connection or your computer can't reach Github for some other reason. Could you verify that you are able to clone a GitHub repository at the command line (outside of truffle) by running:

git clone https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle-init-bare.git

It's also possible you would see this error if you are behind a proxy / vpn.

cgewecke picture cgewecke on 16 Feb 2018

@cgewecke
I've done and this is the result
Cloning into 'truffle-init-bare'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle-init-bare.git/': Received HTTP code 407 from proxy after CONNECT

I 'm behind a proxy.
How can I manage this problem?

0pay picture 0pay on 16 Feb 2018

@lazaridiscom
what is it?
How can I manage that?
Thanks

0pay picture 0pay on 19 Feb 2018

I' ve tried to compile launching the command
truffle compile
but I received the the Jscript runtime error
module is undefined

0pay picture 0pay on 19 Feb 2018

@0pay There's a note on StackExchange here which suggests you can get around this by setting local environment variables that ask the request module not to proxy / tunnel certain calls. More on that here.

You can also just fetch the zip as @lazaridiscom has advised or clone truffle-init-bare as suggested here

@sugalivijaychari If you're behind a firewall that limits your git access, you can download the init template to your desktop via the browser by clicking this link:

truffle init uses request to check the url availability, which throw an error as the above stackoverflow thread mentioned

@cantaloupeJinJin I think there is currently something wrong with truffle init in version 4. If you upgrade to version 5 it should fix the problem.

npm uninstall -g truffle
npm i -g truffle

I upgrade to 4.1.15 and it works fine, it seems that 4.1.14 has some bugs, maybe you can try too.

npm uninstall -g truffle // If you already have truffle installed
npm install -g [email protected]
