Upon further investigation and running the step through ssh, I was able to find out that the circleci machine couldnt resolve the https certificate when downloading the yarn .tar.gz file

curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired
More details here: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not
establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and
how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above.

How the heck am I supposed to fix something like this.

3

I’m having the same issue.

4

We fixed it by adding a step in the CI config file:

name: "Turn on insecure mode for curl"
command: echo insecure >> $HOME/.curlrc

This sets an alias for curl to always ignore the SSL

5

Same issue here. Would rather not ignore SSL.

6

Looks like this has been reported on the orb’s repo. I’d watch that issue for updates.

7

This is still not fixed in v5.0.1.

CircleCI Team - could you please take a look?
