Request error, reason: self signed certificate in certificate chain

[opossamai]

Hi there!
I'm getting this error message when trying to install a new version of nodejs.
I'm using the command line:
C:\nodejs\v16.17.1\node_modules\yarn\bin\yarn.js --cwd C:\agent\_work\1\s\src\Radar\NovaInterfaceRadar\cpp install --force

When try to request https://nodejs.org/download/release/v16.17.1/node-v16.17.1-headers.tar.gz, have the failed in the title.

This is running in a company network, with robust firewalls.

I already have the certificate authority to this self signed certificate in the trusted CA of the machine.

I tried using the NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 variable and the strict-ssl false, but it's still not working.

It looks like node-gyp is not finding the machine's certificate settings.

Windows 10 Professional 6.3

I have the same issue on macOS 11.6.8. Is there anyone looking into this?

Try setting SASS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED to false

The fix is given in the comments. Also, it has been stale for some time. I'll close it.
