Hello, I'm trying do to a simple PoC on how we can update our electron app and I stumbled across this issue:
Error: Error: net::ERR_SSL_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT_NEEDED at SimpleURLLoaderWrapper.<anonymous> (node:electron/js2c/browser_init:101:7169) at SimpleURLLoaderWrapper.emit (node:events:390:28) 11:18:44.437 > Error: net::ERR_SSL_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT_NEEDED at SimpleURLLoaderWrapper.<anonymous> (node:electron/js2c/browser_init:101:7169) at SimpleURLLoaderWrapper.emit (node:events:390:28) 11:18:44.439 > Error: Error: net::ERR_SSL_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT_NEEDED at SimpleURLLoaderWrapper.<anonymous> (node:electron/js2c/browser_init:101:7169) at SimpleURLLoaderWrapper.emit (node:events:390:28) status: 'error', error: 'Error: net::ERR_SSL_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT_NEEDED\n' + ' at SimpleURLLoaderWrapper.<anonymous> (node:electron/js2c/browser_init:101:7169)\n' + ' at SimpleURLLoaderWrapper.emit (node:events:390:28)' } (node:13428) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: net::ERR_SSL_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT_NEEDED at SimpleURLLoaderWrapper.<anonymous> (node:electron/js2c/browser_init:101:7169) at SimpleURLLoaderWrapper.emit (node:events:390:28)
My build config looks like this:
"build": { "appId": "myapptestid", "files": [ "app/**/*", "node_modules/**/*", "package.json" ], "publish": [ { "provider": "generic", "url": "my_artifactory_url" } ], "directories": { "buildResources": "resources" }, "win": { "target": "nsis" }, "nsis": { "oneClick": false } },
And my main looks like this:
import url from "url";
import { app, Menu, ipcMain, shell } from "electron";
import appMenuTemplate from "./menu/app_menu_template";
import editMenuTemplate from "./menu/edit_menu_template";

const autoUpdater = new NsisUpdater(options);

// if (env.name === "development") {

// }
if (isDev) {
log.info("dev");
autoUpdater.checkForUpdates();
} else {
log.info("prod");
autoUpdater.checkForUpdatesAndNotify();
}
setInterval(() => {
autoUpdater.checkForUpdatesAndNotify();

});
app.on("window-all-closed", () => {

});
I'm trying to update through a generic repo from Jfrog Artifactory and that's why I need to use Auth header.
I've also tried to hook up to "select-client-certificate" and "certificate-error" from app, but none of this are triggered.
I'm doing the exactly same request in Postman and it works, no matter if the "SSL certificate verification" is on or off.
Can someone please give me a hint on this?
