Unable to load PFX certificate with tlsOptions + workers

Example config -

const instance = autocannon({ url: 'https://localhost:8080', connection: 10, workers: 3, tlsOptions: { pfx: fs.readFileSync('path/of/p12/keystore') passphrase: 'test' } }

When I use this config. I get ‘Error: Unable to load PFX certificate’

This config works when I don’t use ‘workers’ option.

Sorry for being late to add this but I found a workaround until the problem is fixed.

tlsOptions: { cert: fs.readFileSync('path/of/cert/in/pem/format').toString('utf8'), key: fs.readFileSync('path/of/key/in/pem/format').toString('utf8') }

so P12 keystore can be converted to PEM format cert and key which can be supplied to tlsOptions option.

@mcollina While the approach, you mentioned, will work in this use case and will solve the problem, unfortunately it will not work in other cases when there might be some options/configs that are functions.

I’ve tried your proposed solution:

const cloneDeep = obj => v8.deserialize(v8.serialize(obj))

but the tests are failing.

The reason that this approach (called “The structured clone algorithm”) will not work (and the reason why tests fail) is that the Function objects can’t be duplicated. See the MDN docs explaining this.

I think the best option would be to just use lodash.clonedeep. What do you think?
