Failure to download Clojars [0.1.20]

[hlship]

Since upgrade to 0.1.20 (under IDEA 13):

4:17:52 PM Leiningen aborted: exit code 1: Could not transfer artifact ring:ring-jetty-adapter:pom:1.2.2 from/to clojars (https://clojars.org/repo/): peer not authenticated
This could be due to a typo in :dependencies or network issues.
If you are behind a proxy, try setting the 'http_proxy' environment variable.

I end up doing a lein deps from command line, then clicking the refresh button, and all is fine again.

I'm guessing you've probably updated your JVM at some recent point, this is an issue with certs in the JVM - often it goes unnoticed since you don't actually download jars that frequently. It works on the command line since on OSX the JVM is almost always different (1.6 to run IDEA, 1.7 or whatever on the command line). See #285 for some diagnosis instructions.

I use JDK 1.6 to run IDEA and I don't believe that has upgraded recently; it's marked Nov 1 2011. I have a couple of JDK 1.7's, dated Apr 2012, Jan 2013, and Jun 2013.

So, I could load some new certs, but I still don't get why I need to when everything worked fine in the past.

I believe I've fixed this by creating a symbolic link from /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_29-b11-402.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/security/cacerts to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines//jdk1.7.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/security/cacerts.

It is very strange, and it's strange that I've had a couple of reports about this recently. Since this is pretty clearly a JRE problem I'm wondering if something has changed on the Clojars end, such as rotating their cert and for some reason the Apple JVM doesn't trust the new one. I'd have expected a lot more reports than just two, though. Maybe the NSA screwed up their MITM.

One thing you could try is downloading the IntelliJ edition that comes bundled with a 1.7 JRE.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much I can do to fix this within Cursive, so I'm going to close this. Please let me know if you come up with more information or if the problem recurs.
