realm-js: npm install command failed - prebuild-install warn install certificate has expired - 'cmake-js' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Very sorry about this - it shouldn’t happen of course. We are looking into this.

Downloading of binaries from static.realm.io has been fixed. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

@MrFuentastic It’s being addressed with high priority and should be fixed soon. Will update here when it’s completed. Sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Same here our whole CI is stuck this is the second time again.

VERY annoying considering we’re paying for realm and have those outtakes.

if you have stuck maybe for somebody will useful until we are waiting fixes you can use NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 yarn install

yarn <— its working pod install <— failed as error message below

For the future, if this happens again, below is a one liner solution for Windows users using PowerShell to get around the certificate error as a TEMPORARY workaround as it is not good practice to ignore NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED. Based off suggestions above here (https://github.com/realm/realm-js/issues/5228#issuecomment-1375191886) and here (https://github.com/realm/realm-js/issues/5228#issuecomment-1375222840).

I know it is verbose (I am not the greatest at PS) but also posting here for documentation purposes for myself for the future 😃 This errors on the side of caution printing out whether you currently have a value set for NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED and then resets it to that original value after the Realm install or sets it back to $null if it wasn’t set in the first place.

Note that this is using npm ci which requires a package-lock.json file to be present. Hope this helps others in the future!

$envVarName = "NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED"; $envVarNewValue = "0"; if((Get-Item "env:$envVarName" -ErrorAction Ignore)){$envVarOrigValue = (Get-Item "env:$envVarName").Value}else{$envVarOrigValue = $null}; Write-Host "$envVarName originally set to: $envVarOrigValue"; Set-Item "env:$envVarName" $envVarNewValue; Write-Host "$envVarName has been CHANGED to: " (Get-Item "env:$envVarName").Value; npm ci; Set-Item "env:$envVarName" $envVarOrigValue; Write-Host "$envVarName has been SET BACK to original value: " (Get-Item "env:$envVarName" -ErrorAction Ignore).Value;

@zabutok thanks for response.

@phuongwd we have latest version of realm what builds from sources please try GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true pod install

phuong@Hello ios % GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true  pod install

oh yes now i see it is just another node script which should download archive https://github.com/realm/realm-js/blob/v10.1.4/scripts/xcode-download-realm.sh#L32 then you can try something like export NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 but don’t forget return it back when issue will be fixed, I hope everything works out for you

I’m facing the same issue in Appcenter Today.
