Error: unable to verify the first certificate

I am unable to serve up directories. I used create-react-app, ran a build, and attempted to serve it up.

Ran into this error…

(node:22821) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: unable to verify the first certificate

Here are my versions…

{ asdf: '0.1.0',
  npm: '5.6.0',
  ares: '1.10.1-DEV',
  cldr: '32.0',
  http_parser: '2.8.0',
  icu: '60.1',
  modules: '57',
  nghttp2: '1.25.0',
  node: '8.11.1',
  openssl: '1.0.2o',
  tz: '2017c',
  unicode: '10.0',
  uv: '1.19.1',
  v8: '6.2.414.50',
  zlib: '1.2.11' }

I do have a cafile set in my .npmrc file. Another program, httpster, works fine.

I removed the cafile setting to no avail.

I have the same issue. I just try to do this: node_modules/.bin/serve --ignore node_modules. I use nexus3 as registry:

my ~/.npmrc is

proxy=http://myproxy:8080/
https-proxy=http://myproxy:8080/
registry=http://nexusrepo/nexus3/repository/npmjs-group/
@myscope:registry=http://nexusrepo/nexus3/repository/npmjs-my-hosted/

node -v v8.11.1

npm -v 6.0.1

npm ls --depth=0 npmtest@1.0.0 /tmp/npmtest ├── lodash@4.17.10 └── serve@6.5.6

Closing this now, as this issue is not related to serve, but rather to the way how you’re installing it from npm.

Thank you for the effort you’ve put into this!

Please also read the docs for the new release.
