localhost is not a valid domain name

[stramel]

On the latest version (using devcert-cli):

devcert generate localhost
Error: "localhost" is not a valid domain name.

same for 127.0.0.1 and my local ip

[Js-Brecht]

v1.1.1?

[stramel]

@Js-Brecht I believe so, I did a fresh install on my mac using npm I -g devcert-cli and it didn't work. Used the previously installed version on my Windows machine and it worked.

I checked the Regex in the diff for 1.1.1 and it doesn't match for any of the ones I tried.

[Js-Brecht]

What package manager are you using? You should be able to use it to query your dependency tree. Something like yarn why devcert, npm ls devcert, or pnpm ls --filter devcert.

I’m just trying to figure out what version you’re on because an update was published today that would probably cause the problem you’re experiencing

[Js-Brecht]

Oh, I see now you’re using npm. I overlooked that before

@Js-Brecht

I believe the regex in this latest release is preventing the domains that I'm attempting to use.

Same here

Gatsby breaks too: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/local-https/

[Js-Brecht]

The RegExp is here:

devcert/src/constants.ts

Line 9 in d979a93

export const VALID_DOMAIN = /(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]{0,61}[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,61}[a-z0-9]/;

I've been really swamped lately, so I don't know when I'll have time to work on that regular expression. It should support IP addresses & single DC (e.g. localhost), but it should also still restrict the domain to valid inputs.

In Gatsby.js, pinning devcert to 1.1.0 fixes issues on MaxOS, but causes issues with ubuntu 18 in Github Actions. Errors are the same for both versions: 1.1.0 and 1.1.1

Our e2e cypress testing is setup to use certificates, and all tests failing, so we can't deploy to any of environments, at least it works locally, but how do you explain that to managers?

@JustFly1984 I think one way you could fix that is to install libnss prior to running gatsby develop. That way you can tailor it to the environment it is running in.

[Js-Brecht]

@JustFly1984 try adding this to your action, before your gatsby develop command:

- name: Update apt sources
  run: sudo apt-get update
- name: Install libnss3-tools
  run: sudo apt-get install -y libnss3-tools

@Js-Brecht we have switched ubuntu to macos-latest in Github actions and reverted devcert@1.1.0 back, so build pipeline is restored.

1.1.1 does not work for macos with 'localhost' issue. Why is it trying to fetch something after yarn/npm install? Shouldn't everything required for module to run be inside the module?

[Js-Brecht]

devcert uses certutil for managing NSS DBs, and that's what comes with libnss3-tools. Firefox uses NSS DBs, and Chrome does on Linux, too. It would be nice to package all of that up, but there are no bindings for libnss. As a result, devcert relies on the host machine having the library installed.

libnss is an open source library developed by Mozilla, so it's available for anybody to write bindings. I've almost done it myself a few times, but I've got so much other work that is higher priority.

[JustFly1984]

@Js-Brecht is there any fix to 1.1.1?

[Js-Brecht]

#57 will fix it

[Primajin]

This issue resurfaced for me in 1.2.1 - 1.2.0 worked fine for me.
I can see it has a new dependency is-valid-domain?

I also just did a fresh install using this Gatsby starter: https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-wordpress-blog and first got issues with a self-signed certificate; once I tried to issue a cert through Gatsby I got that error: "Error: "localhost" is not a valid domain name."
